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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“There is no history of how bad became better.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
