What should learning & development (L&D) be doing? Learning Science One of the areas we actively investigate, and apply, is learning science. If we’re designing learning, shouldn’t we be professional about it? While I do see greater awareness of learning science and debunking of myths, it’s still far too little.

In the article he VWs have too much potential for learning professionals to ignore. But Virtual Worlds should not be used to automate existing learning approaches and models: A virtual classroom with virtual students and a virtual PowerPoint deck is not the end-game for learning in VWs.
