Introduction to Education in a Virtual World (Second Life) - Mon 20 April, 12.00-2.00pm
Second Life is a 3D virtual world, which educators all over the world are using to explore and imagine new ways of teaching and learning. As well as the convenience of being a space for eLearning, it is an imaginative, playful space where students enjoy experiencing new ways of looking at issues, new ways of participating in educational contexts, and where students are learning to network, contribute and teach others. This workshop introduces staff to the learning and teaching ‘space’ in Second life.
