Instructors get help teaching in Second Life - eSchool News
Georgia State's "island" will offer educators free instruction on setting up a virtual classroom.It’s tough to teach a college class when your students are constantly flying around the room; just ask any professor who has opened a classroom in the online world of Second Life. Soon, though, college faculty members who need help with the internet universe of more than 10 million registered users can tap a Second Life “island” that Georgia State University is starting. The island, a plot of virtual land (actually server space) like others available in Second Life, will offer free instruction on setting up a virtual classroom and will showcase best practices and offer tips on other ways to use Second Life for instruction.
