Hi Toni 

I am not sure of any specifically on avatars and education, however if you would like info on female avatars and their presence in games - let me know as I have some research I did last year.

Sorry couldn't be more help.

Best regards,

Hello,

I am a doctoral candidate in Education Psychology at the University of Iowa.
I am interested in researching the roles of avatars in learning environments
(second life comes to mind). Does anyone have any publications that they
recommend I review to begin my literature review on the topic? I have looked
at elearning and online learning in PsychInfo without any luck. I believe
there must be people doing research on this topic I am just not looking in
the right places. Any information is appreciated.
