Today we bring you a bonus interview episode.
The following interview features me talking to Eric Hawkinson. Eric is Associate Professor of Learning Design and Technology at the University of Fukuchiyama in Kyoto, and coordinator of JALT’s Mixed, Augmented and Virtual Realities in Learning Special Interest Group, topics of which are discussed in this interview.
This interview was recorded at the JALT PanSIG conference, that took place in Tokyo earlier this month. The PanSIG conference celebrates the work of the many special interest groups that makes up the larger professional association.
The interview was part of the Teacher Development SIG’s forum I helped to organise titled “Exploring The Role That SIGs Play in Teacher Development: Three Interviews.”
We’d like to thank Eric for giving his permission to share this interview, and to the other participants and attendees of the forum.
