Abstract

This presentation will discusses important issues, concerns, and problems found when educators worked towards introducing a 3D multi-user virtual environment into a formal classroom setting. The issues and concerns, emerged during a naturalistic inquiry conducted between 2007 and 2009, showed that the major issues and concerns emerged from interviews included effectiveness, security, bandwidth, and technology. The majority of the participants at the end of the study could not overcome one or more of the issues or concerns in order to get a virtual environment into a formal classroom setting.
