Virtual World Teaching 101

Editor's Notes

  1. Second Life remains the largest preference of worlds by far at 76% (OpenSim barely registers, and others aren't even mentioned) New World Notes, Feb 15, 2010
  2. Today I’d like to speak to you about Second Life, or SL. Who are in SL? What do people do in SL? What’s so promising about SL? And in case you’re interested, how to get started with SL.
  3. SL is a virtual world with 1 million regular users, mostly coming from the United States, Europe, Canada, Brazil. While in Second Life, most of these users use money to purchase virtual items. In SL, the money used is Linden dollars.
  4. Second Life remains the largest preference of worlds by far at 76% (OpenSim barely registers, and others aren't even mentioned) New World Notes, Feb 15, 2010
  5. The exchange rate changes depending on supply and demand, but it is roughly $250 lindens to a dollar. I was in Hungary last week and couldn’t help but notice that the exchange rate for forints is so similar to linden dollars. The exchange rate in Hungary is roughly 220 forints to a dollar.
  6. For online classes and virtual office hours
  7. Maybe even two groups.... Your home location may be controlled with ths group
  8. Make SUre students can declare this location as home If you dont have a spot...make friends with someone that does Here we are at the VEA
  9. Dont Chance being able to work with Linden Labs
