I just found an amazing You Tube clip on using SL for education
Key points
- immersion of learners (suspend belief, feel immersed)
- a sense of being there
- the ability to connect and communicate
- interaction
- walking in someone else's shoes (UCDavis virtual hallucination site)
- experiencing sensations
- collaboration and exchange with colleagues (learners and instructors)
- debabbler for language translation
- possible uses still emerging
Tools mentioned
- Sloodle (mashup of Moodle Learning Management System)
- role playing as an instructional tool
- experiencing periods in history or exotic places
- virtual scavenger hunt (e.g. objects with definitions)
- guided tours of real world replicas (places or a dell computer or a painting)
- virtual sand box
- learner collaboration "co-create virtual 3d objects"
- self-paced tutorials (Ohio learning kiosks
- social nights
- white boards (popular; can be used as powerpoint)
- voice support
What a great video!
