Synchronous or Asynchronous. One of the first decisions to make in designing a 3D Learning Environment (3DLE) is to determine if the learning will occur in a synchronous environment led by an instructor or an asynchronous environment where the learner proceeds at his or her own pace. Or will it be a combination of both?

This class was a blended class, as I am travelling in AZ, I recorded the first part of the session as an asynchronous class which students listened to before attending the "live" session. Experimenting with building in SL. The recording discussed Learning Archetypes and using the ADDIE model to create instruction.

Keep in mind that the debriefing process can be important for both a synchronous learning experience as well as an asynchronous experience. (or other emotion) Where was your focus during that exercise?

He has gone on to do some really cool things in instructional gaming and other areas and I’ve recently caught up with him because of a project he is doing related to distributed, asynchronous co-design with children. My dissertation will be focused on geographically-distributed, asynchronous co-design.

Consider if instruction should be synchronous, asynchronous or a combination. Step Three: Determine if content is appropriate for learning within a virtual world environment. Step Four: Determine the Learning Archetype most appropriate for the content (role play, treasure hunt,etc.)

We recognize the economic argument for scaling asynchronous solutions in virtual worlds – but the technology is designed for interaction, so design for interaction. Just attending a virtual world session and observing is for lightweights. Also, increase your residency, as I mentioned before.

ATD is creating an online asynchronous class about adult learning and they asked if I’d answer some questions and tell some stories so that the learners could hear from some more seasoned folks (read “old”). Which is OK since the prize was a signed copy of my book and I already have a few copies of that:).
