To experience, it's about being there; to learn, it's about doing there. This keynote takes us into the world of architecting learning experiences. Randy explores top ten 3D interactive, immersive learning experiences drawing from experiences in the Virtual Biodome, a year-long learning immersion resulting in a Certificate in Virtual World in a joint partnership with the iSchool and the Professional Continuing Education arm of the University of Washington. He will punctuate the emphasis on doing in his award winning virtual world interfaces that utilize 2b3d's unique decision support learning techniques.

The truth about Botgirl Questi and her real and unreal view of the world, identity and virtual lives - and also how this is influencing education and life-long learning.
