Second Life: Learning Innovation Campus

Education - Not Afraid of Second Life

Posted by:  Jonena Relth, President and Leadership Evangelist, TBD Consulting, Inc. Jonenal Revnik in Second Life 

 

This informative video talks about some creative ways educators are improving student performance using Second Life.  In my opinion, more than just Universities should be using Second Life (Teen version for under 18) to enhance the learning experience of students, improve grade scores and long-term retention.  

 

Take a look and let me know what you think!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmSEF-ntdOw 

 

Please check us out at Learning Innovation Campus.  The whole purpose of the island is to offer a safe, learning environment for people to learn new skills and grow together.  We rent office and conference space for public and private companies/individuals who wish to collaborate.  Give me a call to see how your organization can benefit from joining our learning community.  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Learning%20Innovation/128/148/24

Learning Innovation Campus - Grand Opening Nov. 2

Posted by: Jonena Relth  (http://www.twitter.com/relth) As part of the Learning Innovation Campus (LIC) Second Life® mission, we have made available a limited number of parcels (land) for private office or “create your own space” leasing.  These parcels are available for individual, non-profit or corporate use for groups that are focused on education, people development, coaching or exploration of learning effectiveness. The mission of the campus is to foster and support the activities of like-minded individuals and companies who are interested in being part of a campus dedicated to people development and learning.  This is a great way for those new to Second Life® to take their first steps in establishing your virtual world footprint, or for those who want to belong to the LIC community. The LIC offers three Virtual World Incubator packages sized and priced right for your in-world needs:

1. Medium Parcel - These are offering 549 prim. This space is great for groups needing more space and offering a variety of activities in their in-world offices.
2. Small Parcel - These are offering 150 prim. This space is great for groups with less variety in their offerings or who are piloting projects for launch into Second Life.
3. Storefront - These are offering 150 prim. These spaces are great for vendors who want to showcase their in-world or real-world activities, provide a means for people to purchase products, but not hold live training.

Included with the Medium and Small Parcel are the following:

• Choice of several office buildings
• Includes choice of office furniture (couches, desks, chairs, art work)
• Teaching tools (interactive whiteboard, slide viewer, process mapping tools, survey/polling tools, visitor tracking, and more)
