PowerPoint and Second Life - eLearning Learning

The Average Joe imperative

E-Learning Provocateur

JUNE 24, 2014

There once was a time when I thought Second Life was going to take over the world. Second Life was different. Alas, Second Life had an Achilles heel. To me it’s simple: Second Life failed to accommodate Average Joe. And so Second Life sailed off the edge of the virtual world.

But Virtual Worlds should not be used to automate existing learning approaches and models: A virtual classroom with virtual students and a virtual PowerPoint deck is not the end-game for learning in VWs. In the article he VWs have too much potential for learning professionals to ignore. That's a great, fun way to teach around these topics.

And, of course, we need to dig into the real affordances , not just the hype (PowerPoint in Second Life, anyone?). But, as I’ve said repeatedly, a gilded dud is still a dud. If we get the core right first, then we can move on to see what’s real. So there are some buzzwords already on the wane. Such as MOOCs.

I complained about watching a powerpoint presentation in Second Life (rightly so). Not much, that I could see. My take has, and continues to be, as they say, “horses for courses” That is, use the right tool for the job. However, I also argue that we can short-circuit this process if we look at core affordances.
