Second Life Course: Instructional Tools for Second Life 

Description: Virtual worlds are proving to be an excellent venue for classes at a 
distance. But like all forms of class presentation, an instructor needs to know 
what tools are available and how to make the best use of them. This four week class 
will introduce students to the educational tools available in the virtual world of 
Second Life. 

Week one - The Basics: text chat, voice, audio streams, and note cards. 
Week two - Visual Aids: textures, slide shows, video streams, and lag concerns. 
Week three - Immersive Environments: learning by doing, role playing, and using the 
environment as a tool. 
Week four - Integration: combining methods and augmenting virtual worlds with 
Internet resources. 

Instructor: S.Thompson (Hypatia Dejavu) and JJ Jacobson (JJ Drinkwater) 

Audience: Open to anyone interested in learning about instructional tools for 
virtual worlds. Students should feel comfortable navigating in Second life or have 
taken Second Life 101.
