Virtual environments as spaces for leisure are rapidly emerging within the zeitgeist of 21st century leisure practices. One such environment is the Zwift cycling and running app which provides a series of virtual worlds where cyclists and runners can train, race, and socialise with a global community from their own home. As four authors, we are all in some way curious or engaged with Zwift as a platform for our own leisure. We therefore developed a 'community of inquiry' to provide an initial foray into Zwift as a virtual leisure space. We each produced a section of the paper which focused respectively on assemblage theory, micro-sociology, gender, and morality. Through critique and the spirit of collegiality, these texts were refined and are presented in the paper as separate yet interlinked narratives. Our community of inquiry then reconvened to consider the mechanics of game design and to present Zwift as exhibiting the components of an interreality. The paper concludes with implications for further research which includes considering Zwift as a third space and as a panopticon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este estudio de investigación-acción participativa explora la lectura y la escritura usando como principal recurso la comunidad en un grupo de treinta estudiantes en un colegio público de Bogotá, Colombia. Aunque el colegio está ubicado en un sector de bajo nivel socio-económico de la capital y las familias de los estudiantes han sufrido un desplazamiento forzado debido al conflicto militar, este grupo de jóvenes educandos sensibles y comprometidos proviene de familias que han construido “Los Alpes” como un barrio estable. Desafortunadamente, el currículo tradicional de las escuelas en Colombia no conecta las realidades de los estudiantes y sus conocimientos (Moll et al., 1992; Sharkey, 2012; Sharkey et al., 2016) con sus experiencias de aprendizaje. Así, este estudio de investigación tiene como objetivo determinar cómo los estudiantes de secundaria investigan los problemas de la comunidad y expresan su voz a través del lenguaje. A través de una enseñanza que está insertada en el contexto, este estudio promueve el desarrollo de las competencias de alfabetización de los estudiantes en español e inglés utilizando un enfoque freireano de las pedagogías locales (1970). Algunas de las actividades pedagógicas propuestas incluyen que los estudiantes exploren su comunidad como una experiencia real (Dewey, 1938), durante la cual aprenden e interactúan con diferentes fuentes como noticias en línea, encuestas y entrevistas a funcionarios del gobierno local. Los estudiantes escribieron textos que reflejaban sus posiciones e invitaron a su comunidad a actuar para resolver un problema. En esta investigación acción participativa se desarrollaron tres ciclos: etapa exploratoria, de investigación y de producción. La recolección de datos incluyó videoclips y textos producidos por los estudiantes, notas de campo y una entrevista de grupo focal. A través de la teoría fundamentada, se analizaron los datos y la categoría denominada "alfabetización mediática y de escritura para anunciar nuestras necesidades" responde a la pregunta de investigación. Los principales aspectos encontrados en los datos fueron la producción de textos argumentativos y narrativos de los estudiantes y la alfabetización mediática, incluida la conciencia de los problemas de su comunidad y la importancia de su experiencia en el proceso de aprendizaje. Los resultados muestran que la conciencia de los estudiantes sobre su comunidad puede comenzar a través de la instrucción basada en la indagación para comenzar a identificar los aspectos que deben transformarse en su comunidad. This participatory action research study explores community literacies in a group of thirty students in a public school in Bogota, Colombia. Although the school is located in a low socioeconomic sector of the capital and students’ families have suffered forced displacement due to military conflict, this group of sensitive, committed young learners come from families that have constructed Los Alpes as a stable neighborhood. Unfortunately, the traditional curriculum of schools in Colombia does not connect the realities of students and their knowledge (Moll et al., 1992; Sharkey, 2012; Sharkey et al., 2016) to their learning experiences. Thus, this research study aims at determining how secondary school students, investigate community problems and express their voice through language. Through teaching that is context-embedded, this study promotes the development of students’ literacy competences in Spanish and English using a Freirean approach to local pedagogies (1970). Some of the pedagogical activities proposed include students exploring their community as real experience (Dewey, 1938), during which they learn through and interact with different sources like online news, surveys, and interviewing local government officials. Students wrote texts that reflected their positions and invited their community to act to solve a problem. Three cycles were developed in this participatory action research: exploratory, investigation and production stages. The data collection included videoclips and texts produced by students, field notes and a focus group interview. Through grounded theory data were analyzed and the category named "Media and writing literacy to announce our needs" responded the research question. The principal aspects found in the data were students’ production argumentative and narratives texts and media Literacy including awareness of their community issues and the importance of their experience in the learning process. Results show that students´ awareness about their community can begin through inquiry-based instruction to start identifying aspects that need to be transformed in their community. N/A

To prepare pre-service teachers to work with diverse student populations, many teacher educators have developed community-engaged projects. This study analyzes data collected from pre-service teachers in the U. S. South as they completed a community-engaged project, where they spent time learning about the community, created a virtual tour, and revised a lesson plan to align with the information gained. The project is offered as a mediational tool contributing to pre-service teachers' conceptions of community and teaching. Findings suggest that pre-service teachers need explicit instruction about how to analyze communities and opportunities to learn with community members during teacher education. • Community-engaged projects complicate understandings of community. • Community-engaged projects contribute to sociocultural understandings of learning. • Pre-service teachers need support managing ambiguities about communities and schools. • Community-engaged projects should represent an initiative to learn with communities. • Community-engaged projects aimed at partnership-building can challenge inequities.

América latina muestra una diversidad abrumadora, en todos los sentidos, de espacios protegidos (EP): difieren en el tamaño, clima, hábitat, administración y metas, número y tipos de personal y ambiente sociocultural. En la actualidad estos espacios ya no pueden ser percibidos como lugares aislados de la realidad sociocultural que los rodea, con el único propósito de preservar el patrimonio natural. La investigación (indagación) científica debería jugar un papel clave en el manejo y función más integral e integrada del EP latinoamericano en su contexto paisajístico, tanto el biológico como el sociocultural. La indagación científica con fines básicos o aplicados no debe restringirse a los investigadores profesionales y sus estudiantes. El personal del EP y los pobladores del mismo EP y la matriz semi natural circundante (campesinos e indígenas) también son muy capaces de emplear las herramientas de la investigación. Presentamos estudios de caso desde las historias incompletas de los EP de Argentina, Cuba y Colombia hasta la historia casi completa de un EP boliviano. Muchas historias todavía son incompletas por la falta de recursos o de interés administrativo, o por el ambiente de paternalismo. Latin America boasts an overwhelming diversity of protected areas (PAs) in every sense: size, climate, habitat, administration and goals, numbers and kinds of personnel, and socio-cultural context. These PAs must no longer be perceived as guarded enclosures whose only purpose is to preserve the nature inside. Scientific research (inquiry) must play a leading role in more integrated management approaches to the PA in the context of the whole landscape. Scientific inquiry, whether basic or applied, must involve not only professional researchers and students but also PA personnel and other people (indigenous and non-indigenous) who often inhabit the PA and almost always the semi natural matrix surrounding it. Many such "non-professionals" are naturally capable of performing high quality research to resolve local concerns in conservation and management. We present case studies ranging from incomplete stories in APs of Argentina, Cuba, and Colombia to the nearly complete story of a Bolivian AP. Lack of recourses or administrative interest contributes to the current incompleteness of many stories, as does paternalism.
