I would like to invite higher education staff that have integrated or are currently integrating virtual worlds in their teaching practice, to participate in my PhD research project. The research examines the ways in which higher education staff experience virtual worlds as pedagogical places. You would be required to participate in a one on one interview via a Second Life space, Skype or similar online technology. Interviews will last approximately one hour and a follow up interview of up to one hour may be required. A face to-face interview may be possible if you are in Australia. Your participation would be completely anonymous in the writing up of the research, as would any reference to your institution or virtual world teaching space. More in-depth information regarding the research project including ethics documentation will be provided when you email indicating your interest in participating. If you are interested in participating or would like to know more about the project before deciding please contact me at lii@deakin.edu.au. I require 15 to 20 participants and in the event that I receive more willing participants than I need I will randomly select the required number. Participants will receive a $50AUD Amazon voucher in appreciation of their time and commitment to participate. Thank you Leah Irving
