Editor's Notes
- A brief overview of science and research education in Second Life, highlighting Science School, Genome Island, Research Park, ISTE Island and more.
- A postpartum hemorrhage scenario was conducted on second life for nursing students in New Zealand and Idaho.
- “flipping” their classroom (that is, providing traditional lecture material for review at home and problem-solving exercises in the classroom)With the increasing availability of lecture content, many will need to bring more value to the educational experience in other ways. Educators can be content creators, content consumers, or both, depending on the needs of their students. But we are likely to see a smaller number of high-profile faculty providing content to a larger audience than in the past.
