The Consultants-E SL

The next session in our monthly seminars for teachers (EduCation@EduNation) will take place next Saturday 17th May at 01:30 PDT (Second Life Time), The session is entitled “Self-directed Team Learning in Virtual Worlds” and will be led in-world by Corwin Carillon...

Is self-directed learning something you are passionate about? Does self-directed team learning in virtual worlds grab your imagination?

Virtual worlds as learning sites provide a number of potentially rich learning opportunities for students. One of these is project work and another is control of the learning environment. At the moment, the virtual world that probably offers learners the greatest degree of control of the learning environment, and probably the lowest barrier of entry to that creation, is Second Life. Alongside the often noted increased sense of presence, coupling project work with student control of the learning environment seems likely to be a high-value exploitation of virtual worlds for learning.

Come join us for a discussion of self-directed team learning in Second Life where we will share ideas and practices for giving learning teams greater control through inquiry-driven projects.
