Conference Notes – The League for Innovation CIT 2007
Sunday, Nov. 11
8:30 AM – 9:30 AM
Virtual Classes in Virtual Worlds
Cathy House, Professor, Trukee Meadows Community College, NV
Travis Souza, Coordinator, e-learning, Trukee Meadows Community College, NV
They are using Moodle and Second Life. They are using SL in online courses. A real estate course and an art course use SL.
They gave a basic, step-by-step demonstration on how to set up an account. The description should have given more of an idea that this was going to be a basic beginners’ demonstration. They should have taken some kind of poll to figure out if anyone is using SL or not.
The hand-out gives me some ideas for creating our own tutorials.
Some pros and cons of SL will be discussed.
