using second life in class...why are we doing this?

she knows of educators that have used it as part of an office training course and it has worked very well. Students who are traditionally
disengaged have achieved all learning outcomes more quickly and actually wanted to be learning.
SL won't work for every class or every subject but used correctly it can be a powerful teaching tool.
interesting... for what class?
said the lectures in question were using it for an office traineeship for aboriginal students. Customer service was one of the subjects that
worked well in this environment and it was more effective than classroom roleplay. Student prepared in advance.
Also speaking with a landscaping group that are interested in doing set ups in this space. Works well for Vocational Education
there's also lots of nursing, biology stuff in here and an educators mailing list if you are not already aware.
