Experiential Learning in Second Life

Experiential Learning in Second Life Hilary Mason SL: Ann Enigma Johnson & Wales University

why put students here

when we can go here?

but maybe we can’t No money No access No time No expertise

or maybe it is impossible inside a nanotube another universe another species ages past to see x-rays

what if we could?

real experiences in virtual spaces

we explore and create new realities imagine how we can learn

there’s a life outside of second life

it’s not difficult challenge collaboration reflection community learning

we’ve gone to some great places already
