Virtual world benefits through real world solutions
What are you trying to achieve? Students won’t be entranced by some
PowerPoint slides in Second Life Could this teaching be done more effectively
with another tool – a web page, a VLE etc?
Ashridge Business School - currently creating the building then looking at different ways of combining with current e-learning for distance students
JISC RSCs in Scotland - developing induction workshops for Second Life which include interactive activities
Clear purpose to being there Make it interesting and challenging Have definite outcomes
Take a case study Perhaps a business plan exercise Lots of information on a piece of paper Write up your views on how viable this
business is and your proposals for moving it forward
Create the scenario in Second Life Embed the information into objects Let the students go and look for the
information, think about it and then write up their report
Using a laboratory Health and safety Hygiene in a kitchen Crime scene analysis
Give your students a proper induction into Second Life
Don’t make activities too simple Ask your students for some help – building,
scripting, ideas Be creative, be innovative with Second Life,
make it work for you
