Second Life used as way of teaching - Olivia Obineme, Towson Tower Light
Second Life, a virtual social network, is being used by some professors to expand the classroom environment for their students. Faculty members held a presentation in Paws Thursday to share with others their new method of teaching. "Second Life is a virtual 3-D environment where you create a persona, an avatar, and you can exist in this environment," OTS instructional design technologist and trainer LaTonya Dyer said. Dyer was one of the collaborators for this project, along with department of computer and information sciences lecturer James Braman and associate professors for the department of art Bridget Sullivan and Jan Baum.
