Engaging the Avatar: New Frontiers in Immersive Education explores possible academic worlds where the avatar is at the center of learning.

The book addresses timely questions which include: What are the frameworks and strategies for building these virtual environments? What are the things the avatar adapts and learns from in its environment? How does this strategy support learning?

Hinrichs and series editor, Charles Wankel, Ph.D., St. John's University, have curated essays and case studies that explore what it takes to create a global education environment for learning.

In addition to teaching at the iSchool, Hinrichs is CEO of 2b3d,a full service virtual worlds company that provides development and consulting services for corporations and educational institutions.
