The Virtual Experience Design Space (VEDS) is an ever-evolving space in Mozilla Hubs to help vlearning practioners and stakeholders think through the key design elements of a virtual experience whilst being in a virtual environment. The space takes a number of different design tools and allows users to use them as a basis for discussion, with users accessing the space from their WebXR compatible browser of VR headset. The space currently includes 4 different design tools: a dichotomies space (where you can rank different features - such as linear/freeform or synchronous/asynchronous - against a variety of different design factors - such as cost, importance, time, risk), Sara de Freitas's 4D framework for vLearning design, Bob Stone's 3 Fidelities model and Bybee's 5E eLearning design model. Hubs has its own set of generic collaboration tools which can be used alongside these models, and a few useful extra elements are provided. The session will guide participants through the different models and how to use them in the design of immersive 3D experiences. The space is on 24/7 public access and participants (and all iLRN delegates) are free to use the space afterwards in their own activities.

Carroll's Riddles: The Game of Logic is a fantastical WebXR world based on the works of British logician and writer Lewis Carroll (1832-1898). You are invited on a journey to become immersed in Carroll’s mental landscape, led by Alice and the White Rabbit. Upon entering the virtual world, you meet others for a Tea Party before embarking on your quest to solve riddles and puzzles. Aided with an interactive Carroll Diagram, you travel through a garden by tackling logic riddles. This immersive journey is unlike any other, pushing the limits of your imagination and challenging you to find logic in a nonsensical world.

Recreated! A WebVR Tour of an Asian American Historically Endangered Site
Keely Canniff, Dan Cliburn, Joshua Salyers
University of the Pacific, United States of America

NOTE: this entire session happens in Hubs and space is limited to 25.  If that limit is reached, you can still observe the session but not interact with the other attendees.
 
Join us for a virtual tour through a historically endangered landmark recreated in VR! Using webXR, participants will be guided through the historic area of Little Manila located in Stockton, California. Little Manila was once home to one of the largest populations of Filipinos outside of the Philippines. Unfortunately, most of the area was torn down to make way for the Crosstown Freeway. Today, only three Little Manila era buildings exist. The only way you can visit the historic town of Little Manila is in VR.
