The final report launched this week for our work looking at VR for training - it was as effective as face to face and we offer some insights into the key features of the design - it was an amazing QUT team @selentrky @_jamesar @alburden_io Gavin Winter and all the many others!
#QUT research led a study into the effectiveness of #training delivered by virtual reality in partnership with Construction Skills Queensland and industry fal.cn/3yycT @katethompson #VR #VirtualReality

As a member of the parliamentary committee investigating long COVID, may I make 2 points;
1. There are no current data on the incidence or prevalence of long COVID in this country. No-one is collecting that data.
2. The committee is unlikely to report before Feb-March 2023.

I've reviewed a number of manuscripts recently that claim this is an under-researched and/or under-theorised area.
Paul Temple (fairly) made that point in 2008. His review paper now has over 300 citations. That's one place to start.

Looking for good papers on space and place (and how those concepts relate) in education. Got any recommendations?

For all the people that think they are bad at responding to emails:
I emailed a professor 12 years ago asking about source recommendations for a paper I was writing for a class during my undergrad. He replied to my email TODAY.

Christopher Alexander had a huge influence in many fields, not least in educational design. I am so glad to have encountered his work and ideas.

Thanks to Alexander's efforts, we have a detailed pattern to follow, learn from, and continue to build upon (and with).
