History
VR in the Schools is published by the Virtual Reality and Education Laboratory (VREL) in the College of Education at East Carolina University. The journal began as a quarterly, issued in June, September, December, and March. Volumes 1 and 2 were distributed in print format initially. World Wide Web (online electronic) versions were subsequently made available. Beginning with volume 3, VR in the Schools was distributed only in the World Wide Web version and no longer as a quarterly. Distributing via the World Wide Web provides the fastest dissemination of information which is necessary in the field of virtual reality due to the subjects rapidly changing technology. The Virtual Reality and Education Laboratory at East Carolina University is dedicated to finding ways to use virtual reality in education. Recognizing the need for a laboratory to study the implications of virtual reality on K-12 education, Dr. Larry Auld and Dr. Veronica S. Pantelidis established the Virtual Reality and Education Laboratory at East Carolina in 1992. The current co-directors are Dr. Pantelidis and Mr. David Vinciguerra.
