Meet Me in the Virtual Gardens
The 3D Virtual World ‘Second Life‘ is the location for a small number of tutorials this year, as Edge Hill’s SOLSTICE Gardens opens it’s gates.
Virtual Worlds’s like Second Life offer potentially immersive and flexible online meeting spaces. Where distance prevents face to face contact, Second Life is one of the alternatives that may be suitable in specific cases.
For those who are new to these environments and using them for teaching and learning, why not have a look at our introduction to virtual worlds, the JISC guide to Getting Started with Second Life and contact me at [email protected].
