[Air-L] Air-L Digest, Vol 71, Issue 4

Fri Jun 4 14:53:44 PDT 2010

As for the teaching writing in Second Life, I know of at least one
teacher (not through my institution) who is affiliated with the
Caledon estates in Second Life.

I myself am a Communications student who specialized in online
communications, and who is now planning her doctoral studies to take
place and use Second Life as an example of a virtual world (studying
reputation/social investment in virtual worlds).

Cheers,

Jasmine Pues

> I don't know of anyone using second life to teach but that would be a blast, we at Jyvaskyla University are putting together a project proposal on formal and informal learning looking, among other things, at what the formal brings into the informal and viceversa, as well as to the construction of routine through ritual actions. Let's keep this discussion going.
