The best way to learn is not simply by simulating a classroom, but say, you want to teach about ancient Rome or Greece, you create architecture and furniture from those eras, and even dress that way. You remember more when you combine visual, auditory AND text. Many people don't learn as well from just reading or lectures. I've attended a real campus long enough to be a Senior, and

For people who can't make it to a real campus because of: traffic, long commute, busy schedule, needing to take care of kids, or the subject of interest is not taught in nearby schools. There's a number of reasons. Also, teaching in Second Life can take on the role of a simulation.

I personally believe that second life is really bad invention that seems good. Im not saying it's not bad entirely but it will keep people stuck in their homes. Just like instant messaging. It will kill the art of conversation. It has been stabbed by instint messaging. Now, it will die!

The real Ohio University I attended IS in fact a great place to learn and explore the world. It is multi-dimensional, fully textured, unpredictable and REAL. Its where I unexpectedly learned about modern dance and,unrelatedly, learned how to dance on a saloon table singing "Jeramiah was a bull frog ..." and then discuss international politics with a prof in a side booth. Too cool. I'm a Bobcat made of flesh, blood and adrenelin. |
