It’s about controlling the message. You can’t control the message, and social media isn’t going to change that. Social media has no business purpose.

A critical element in virtual world learning is the opportunity for the learner to reflect upon his or her experience. As a designer of a 3D virtual learning experience, you need to design part of the learning experience to include time for the learners to re-envision what they experienced and add meaning to that experience.

Asynchronous communication to the rescue! What is asynchronous communication ? Asynchronous communication allows us to set our own schedules and answer messages on our own time, without having to wait on the availability of others. It’s just a fancy way of saying communication that doesn’t have to happen in real-time. .

Obviously, software design isn’t the same as learning design, though learning design could stand to benefit from what software engineers know about process and quality. In learning design, the cost is in continuing to use the bad learning design.
