Some educators at higher education institutions continue to use VWs in the same way as they have done in the past; others are exploring a range of different VWs or using them in new ways; whilst some are opting out altogether. This paper presents an overview of how 46 educators from some 26 institutions see VWs as an opportunity to sustain higher education. The positives and negatives of using VWs are discussed. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Name: | ascilite 2012: 29th annual Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education conference - Future challenges, sustainable futures, Wellington, New Zealand, 25th - 28th November, 2012 | Source of Publication: | Future challenges, sustainable futures: Proceedings of ascilite Wellington 2012, p. 361-368 | Publisher: | ASCILITE: Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education | Place of Publication: | online | Field of Research (FOR): | 130306 Educational Technology and Computing 130103 Higher Education 130212 Science, Technology and Engineering Curriculum and Pedagogy |
