How Madison Avenue Is Wasting Millions on a Deserted Second Life - Wired. Ever since BusinessWeek ran a breathless cover story titled "My Virtual Life" more than a year ago, reporters have been heralding Second Life as the here-and-now incarnation of the fictional Metaverse that Neal Stephenson conjured up 15 years ago in Snow Crash.

It was the year 2003 and Second Life was the game du jour. Still, one can imagine why Second Life went the way of Myspace and Friendster: It lacked a secure aspect. It sounds new-age, but virtual reality tech is making better care possible today. Virtual Heyday.

Using a virtual world or metaverse for training is not as science-fiction as it sounds. Tags: Second Life 3D worlds. A metaverse or virtual world is simply the natural extension and convergence of several technologies currently used for online learning.

In Second Life (SL), make sure avatars are off of the Orientation Island. Establish rules of behavior in terms of gestures, sounds, building. Encourage learners to explore the 3D world prior to class so they are somewhat oriented to class. In-World Make sure everyone can do basic navigation. Start with an orientation exercise.

Everything sounds obvious when he says it. Instead, it focused on Jack’s no nonsense ability to make communities an effect part of learning. And particularly, I got to spend time with Jack on how he sells learning communities in the organization. In a way, he didn’t feel like he was ever “selling learning communities”.

I saw a study once comparing a linear elearning course and an experience within the virtual world of Second Life. If you are going to put someone in a game/simulation to teach customer service skills or leaderships skills, the way to assess is to put them in a customer service or leadership position and see how they do.

These virtual learning spaces are often shared spaces, enabling symbolic interactions of all types to take place, the simplest through text alone, the most exotic through a combination of text, icons, sound, graphics, animation and video. Perhaps this is why Second Life designers persist in creating classrooms as learning spaces.
