The use of virtual world platforms is still in its infancy and many
educators are wondering how best to use such platforms as a
complement to their teaching and facilitation strategies. Targeted
at educators and researchers wishing to use virtual environments in
their teaching practice "Higher Education in Second Life" provides
practical advice specifically for educators in higher education.
This book focuses on the use of Second Life - a free,
readily-accessible virtual world which is increasingly being used
for both formal and informal learning. "Second Life" provides a
platform where people can meet and collaborate, teach and learn,
play roles and live through experiences. For the experienced this
publication provides case studies and ideas for implementing
effective learning experiences, for the novice it offers
suggestions for overcoming potential barriers and joining the
community of 'new frontier educators'. It has a broad appeal to
educators from a wide range of disciplines, from the academic
community, to training and development managers, and companies with
corporate universities looking to reduce their costs through the
use of technology and distance learning.
