Abstract

The specific aim of this session is to discuss the early design of a collaborative, immersive learning intervention for youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), named Virtuoso. Building on our presentation at AECT 2016, this session will describe design and development progress to date, share our design narrative, explicate underlying theoretical and design principles, provide session participants an overview of the Virtuoso system, and present a timeline of ongoing research and development.
