The links between learning in a virtual world and learning in the physical world are made apparent throughout, and the authors reveal how understanding learning in one informs the other. \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Learning in Virtual Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e is an important book not only to those who teach in virtual worlds, but to anyone for whom understanding learning, in all its forms, is of interest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-09-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447153696\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-5370-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 179\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382467846284,"sku":"9781447153696","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447153696.jpg?v=1776450815","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447153696","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
