ESRC-funded seminar series and conference on young people's literacies in virtual spaces
This seminar series and dissemination conference provided a forum for key national and international researchers in digital literacies to explore how children and young people are developing meaning-making practices in online virtual worlds and related spaces.
The aims were to investigate children's digital literacy practices in virtual worlds, online massive multiplayer online games and alternate or mixed-reality learning environments. We explored ways of exploiting opportunities for literacy educators. You can on our partner Lancaster University's pages.
