Virtual worlds: are they the future?
A discussion about distance learning in Second Life.
Friday 18th December. 11.30-12.30 (UK time).
An opportunity to meet and take part in a discussion: Virtual worlds: are they the future?
You need basic skills in Second Life to take part: enough to teleport to our location and communicate via chat or sound with colleagues in world.
This is an opportunity to meet others and consider different viewpoints regarding the potential and value of Second Life in education.
Email c.appleton@staffs.ac.uk if you would like to participate.
I am so pleased to see this topic being addessed more frequently.I think that going forwards, one of the key areas in which virtual worlds can make a real world difference is in education. Completely immersive distance learning, replicating a real classroom as closely as possible while allowing students to engage with other students on the other side of the world…. what could possibly not be good about that?
