A couple of weeks ago two RSC staff held an "in-house" Second life training/awareness session for UK RSc staff. The event was very well organised, as you can see from the event images.
A whole range of basic SL skills and uses of SL were demonstrated and experienced by delegates. If you are thinking of running your own CPD sessions, contact Jane Edwards of JISC RSC West Midlands for some advice.
- Jane is also responsible for a new SL project that allows our new SL island to be experimented with by local learning providers. The list of local learning providers particpating in the project is currently full, but if you need to know more please contact Jane (contact details on above wiki page).
- If you want to know more about SL in the Midlands, book onto our free event on 02/12/09
Virtual Worlds In Education Forum
- You can keep an eye on all things virtual in education, by heading over to the virtual world watch website.
- RSC South East also ran an event to launch awareness of their new ISland. This island is also open to educators to use for various teaching & learning projects. Contact Harold Fricker (HE coordinator) to find out more about how you can get involved in their SL project.
- Did you know that : As part of its Transforming Undergraduate Education Program, the University of Texas SYSTEM has initiated a statewide virtual learning community of students, faculty, researchers and administrators, that offers a creative approach to undergraduate instruction through the innovative use of a 21st century low-cost online virtual world technology.
