The document discusses using Second Life as a learning environment and conducting interviews to assess its potential added value for teaching and learning. It mentions conducting 100 interviews with 50 participants totaling around 2000 minutes of conversation. The interviews will use a three question protocol to score Second Life based on variables of attention, depth, and efficiency of student learning.

10. The interview tries to find out what your expert-opinion is on the likely or potential added value- or power- for teaching and learning. I will ask you to score Second Life as a learning environment using the three variables The elements A, D and E can be explained as: A (attention) = the likely level of attention given by your students to Second Life as a learning environment working with, looking at, listening to and thinking about what you want them to, D (depth) = the likely degree to which the students thinking is involved in using Second Life for a learning task, E (efficiency) = the likely learning by students needed to master Second Life at such skill that is does not distract from the learning task in relation to the effect.

12. Interviews, lesson 1: IM+script 12:15] Joop Zuhal: i ll give u Q3 now [12:15] John Doe: btw -- the first question is influenced by whether students are working in a group next to each other or if they are working on their own when "in world" for class [12:15] John Doe accepted your inventory offer . [12:15] Joop Zuhal: ok, ur score please [12:16] John Doe: can I ask a clarifying question? [12:16] Joop Zuhal: of coruse [12:17] John Doe: does Q3 relate to getting people into SL, building the learning activity, and all related items, assuming starting from 0? [12:17] Joop Zuhal: yes [12:17] John Doe: with all of that in mind, I would say a 4 © 2008, Joop van Schie
