Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In this article, we describe our collaborative research toward creating a "mixed reality teaching and learning environment" (MiRTLE) that enables teachers and students participating in real-time mixed and online classes to interact with avatar representations of each other. The longer-term hypothesis is that avatar representations of teachers and students will help create a sense of shared presence, engendering a sense of community and improving student engagement in online lessons.
