Long before genAI, even before the pandemic, and for a hot moment after the blockchain craze, there was the metaverse. Facebook changed the company name trying to catch the wave. In this moment, the Immersive Learning Network was born, and it has just released the latest set of conference papers. Most of the academic papers are of abstract length; there's more grist in the practitioner papers. In a moment of a moment, catch this paper on XR Literacy by Alin Yalcinkaya, Dan Spencer and Michael Cuales. Probably the most notable feature of the ILRN is the Versatilist podcast with Patrick O'Shea, which just produced its 345th episode.
