Designing Effective Asynchronous Learning in the Virtual 3D Environment
Seminar Leader: Christopher Keesey, Ohio University Without Boundaries
Ohio University has recently opened one of the first and most comprehensive virtual campuses of any research institution in the country. The campus was built in the Internet-based virtual world called Second Life. This seminar will use Second Life as a frame for discussing how virtual environments like Second Life can enhance learning through asynchronous or simulation-style exercises. Developments like Ohio University's effort demand that educators think creatively about how to exploit the potential of these kinds of resources. That is to say, how do we seize the opportunities that virtual worlds provide to drive learning forward, as opposed to simply extending the traditional classroom model of learning?
