dc.description.abstractThe use of technology in the delivery of social services is receiving increased attention in social work (e.g., Schopler, Abell, & Galinksy, 1998). Starbright World is a computer based network that links seriously ill, hospitalized children into a fully navigable interactive community. It presents a virtual reality play space in which children are able to explore and verbally and visually communicate with each other through the use of a representational avatar (i.e., an on screen character). Starbright World also allows children to interact with each other in real time via voice and video conferencing. The present study reports findings from a qualitative analysis of Starbright World.en
