Thoughtfully constructed virtual world education simulations are a hit with students of all ages and contribute to increased learning outcomes. Still, until this type of learning simulation becomes more mainstream (and educational simulation content is included in textbook ancillary materials), early adopter educators need to create their own simulations or use the open license (or creative commons license) content created by others. To focus attention on the currently available as well as the “wish list” open license content needed, this panel includes presentations from college, K-12, and workplace instructors using and/or sharing virtual world learning simulation content.
