The tour will last into February and promises to be a lot of fun.
During the tour, the participating blogs will post interviews, stories, reactions, insights, related stories and even reviews of Learning in 3D.
Enjoy all the postings and you can even read the some of the book for yourself. Read it and enter into the conversation or, if you just have an opinion or thought on the topic go ahead and add a comment...have fun following the tour. Also, if you leave a comment on every blog stop on the tour, you'll receive a Prize. You will receive a whitepaper written by myself and co-author Tony O'Driscoll on where we think 3D Virtual Immersive Environments are on the technology hype cycle.
Please enjoy the tour, the idea is to build a great discussion around the concepts in the book and to bring thinking about 3D virtual worlds for learning and collaboration into the forefront of discussions in the e-learning space.
To facilitate discussion, Tony will be Tweeting quotes of the Day (or hour depending on energy level) during the tour with Twitter Hashtag #lrn3d Feel free to Tweet about the book and the tour as well.
