My fourth book, Learning Online with Games, Simulations, and Virtual Worlds, available for pre-order

I am pleased to announce that my fourth book, Learning Online with Games, Simulations, and Virtual Worlds: Strategies for Online Instruction , is now available for pre-order on Amazon. This book goes into selection and implementation detail around Highly Interactive Virtual Environments. Along the way, it prepares instructors for the new challenges of developing a true culture of interactivity and helping students "learn to do" not just "learn to know."

This book is aligned with, but not part of, my Simulation Trilogy, which will be complete this summer, and is made up of (and can be read in any order):

1. Simulations and the Future of Learning: An Innovative (and Perhaps Revolutionary) Approach to e-Learning (the blue one)
2. Learning by Doing: A Comprehensive Guide to Simulations, Computer Games, and Pedagogy in e-Learning and Other Educational Experiences (the red one)
3. The Complete Guide to Simulations and Serious Games: How the Most Valuable Content Will be Created in the Age Beyond Gutenberg to Google (the green one)

I realize there may be some confusion between them (especially because so far, no new book replaces an existing book before it), so feel free to ask any questions about what subjects each will or will not cover, and I (and hopefully others) will try to answer.

As anyone who does this type of research knows, kind words go a long way, so thank you to so many who have encouraged this continued effort.
