From:
http://www.virtualworldwatch.net/This is a “Request For Information”, for the seventh Virtual World
Watch snapshot survey, for academics, researchers and lecturers in UK
universities and colleges. And it'll be the last request for
information this decade! :-)
This time, there’s just one main question, and a few side points. The
main question can be interpreted as broadly, or as narrowly, as you
wish.
The Question
How are you using virtual worlds (e.g. Second Life, OpenSim,
Metaplace, OLIVE, Active Worlds, Playstation Home, Blue Mars, Twinity,
Wonderland) in teaching, learning or research?
Things you may want to include:
- Why you are using a virtual world.
- If teaching using a virtual world, how it fits into your curriculum.
- Any evaluation of the experience of using the virtual world.
- Will you do it again next year? Why (or why not)?
A few side points
1. Do you know of any other individual, group or project at your
institution using virtual worlds for teaching, learning or research?
If so, a contact detail would be appreciated.
2. Do you have any interesting screenshots of what you’ve been doing
in virtual worlds (UK education only)? If so, then please consider
submitting them to this particular Flickr group –
http://www.flickr.com/groups/slsnaps/... thanks.
Deadline
Please send your contributions, in whatever format (e.g. email, Word,
text) to
[hidden email] by the end of Tuesday 10th
November. Content submitted by then is guaranteed to go into the
report; content received afterwards may make it in, if there’s time.
Thank you for your contribution,
Virtual World Watch
