28. Students quotes
"I did like SL, and I feel that it is a good way to present to
different people and around the world."
"I personally loved doing SL. I think that if I was given the
opportunity I would choose it every time.
I loved the flying (once I got used to it), being able to make
yourself look the way you want to, and being able to travel to
different locations. This can open (and has) so many opportunities
to engage yourself in a way that is rewarding for you and the
listener.
29. Explore the Possibilities
30. Pedagogical Considerations
What activities will best support the defined outcomes for the
course offering(s)?
Which activities will best be carried out in SL and which will be
better experienced with other educational activities in SL (field
trips, other listed educational events, simulation and role-playing
sites)?
How will activities capitalize on the immersive and social
capabilities of SL?
What guest experts are available?
