Submit Your Presentation Proposal

Introduction

The VWBPE 2026 theme is Insights, which invites us to look deeper—beyond the tools and platforms—toward the lessons, challenges, and opportunities that are redefining education in an age of rapid technological transformation. We issue this Call for Proposals, to explore these transitions occurring in education across the world.

We invite you to share your ideas at VWBPE in 2026:

  • Fresh insights into how educators worldwide are responding to AI, immersive tech, and ethical challenges in real time.
  • Practical strategies for navigating policy gaps, integrating advanced tools, and fostering critical thinking in the AI era.
  • Collaborative perspectives from researchers, practitioners, and creators who are testing boundaries and redefining educational practices.
  • A global platform to share your work, experiment with immersive formats, and shape the conversations that matter most to the future of post-secondary education.
A Call to Explore: VWBPE 2026 – Insights

Join us at the 19th Annual Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education (VWBPE) Conference. Plan to discover and experience new approaches to immersive learning in action. Get excited about how you can use them in your classroom and research practices, and share what you learn with colleagues.

VWBPE 2026 isn’t just about tools or platforms—it’s about the insights we uncover together. Whether you are an experienced immersive educator, a researcher exploring new methodologies, or simply curious about the future of digital learning, this year’s conference offers a chance to reflect, question, and shape what comes next.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a global community dedicated to redefining education and immersive environments. The conference is hosted across multiple platforms including Second Life®. It will be live-streamed on YouTube. It is completely virtual and free to attend.

Livestream Engagement

Many of the conference sessions are streamed via YouTube Live as part of the recording process. The audience for these livestream sessions has been increasing each year. Therefore, VWBPE 2026 plans to incorporate questions and comments from the livestream with the presenter(s) and participants in-world.
