I remember the hype over Second Life, and recognizing that the core elements were 3D and social. I still tend to get opportunities to innovate around ideas of application after they’re established, because, well, that’s what I do ;). a pandemic!). Yet, what we saw were slide presentations in a virtual world.

Here are a few ideas to help you get started: Initiate online assessment. Try online virtual classrooms or worlds, such as Second Life. Where to Begin? If all of this sounds great but daunting, fear not! Start with baby steps. Integrating small changes into traditional ILT makes the process a lot easier. Deliver pre-work online.

The implementation that I settled on was a conversational agent using a Panorabot , I particularly like this idea because for one I can publish the bot to the net and for two I can link it to a virtual bot in Second Life.

This was an exciting class, we first learned to create note cards and then learning about Learning Archetypes in Second Life which are picking up some momentum. We also learned some ideas about developing lessons within Second Life in terms of what needs to be created to make a successful educational experience in a 3D world.

First, it looks as though Linden Labs, the developers behind Second Life, may be downsizing their corporate efforts ( Second Life Enterprise Edition ). Most or all of the team that engineered the Second Life Enterprise product was let go not long after it went into production.At Interesting development.

This is good timing given the LCB Big Question is: Second Life Training. As someone who's always felt that immersion is the best way (possibly the only way) to really learn languages.
