Welcome to the MUVEnation programme

Hello from Tamara Ashton,

My dearest friend Evelyn Izquierdo told me about this programme today through google chat. MUVEnation is:

"‘Teaching and learning with MUVEs’ is a one year postgraduate programme, at distance, for future and in-service teachers who want to use innovative methods and tools to address learners motivation and participation issues in compulsory education.

MUVEnation will help teachers acquire the necessary competencies to integrate massively multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) into their teaching practice ; by exploring the links between :

• virtual worlds, learning and motivation, active learning and pedagogical approaches that include socio-constructivism, situated learning, project based learning, learning by doing, game based learning, simulations and role-playing."

I have high expectations for this course and hope to be able to learn a lot from many international participants.

Kind regards

Tamara alias Jennifer
