College immerses students in languages, lessons with virtual world - Katrina Segers, KC Community News
For just $2,607.50, Johnson County Community College now owns and maintains an island. Director of the Education Technology Center Jonathan Bacon said the college purchased the virtual island in the computer world of Second Life through a technology innovation grant, which sets aside money for grants to follow up on faculty ideas. Bacon said a number of faculty members had discussed the idea last spring after articles about Second Life began appearing in publications. He said the island could benefit the college and someday offer orientations and be a recruitment tool.
