Joining Nicole Ellison in this episode of JCMC: The Discussion are Eugy Han and Dr. Kristine Nowak, two of the authors behind the recently published “People, Places, and Time: A Large-scale, Longitudinal Study of Transformed Avatars and Environmental Context in Group Interaction in the Metaverse”. In addition to discussing their findings, Han and Dr. Nowak share how their transition to remote learning, and subsequent experimentations with VR, informed and inspired this recent study. Han and Dr. Nowak go on to share some advice for scholars interested in integrating VR into their work as well as further discuss potential future applications for VR in academia and research. Click here for the episode transcript FeaturingNicole Ellison Eugy Han Kristine NowakMore from our guests:  Nicole Ellison Karl E.
