Virtual worlds like Second Life allow users to interact through avatars in a simulated 3D environment. Second Life opened to the public in 2003 and is entirely user-generated. Choosing an appropriate professional avatar appearance is important for educators, as extremes should be avoided. Avatars' movements and abilities like changing appearance can be useful teaching tools, for example to enhance role-playing activities. Second Life provides an ideal platform for students to engage in creating their own learning experiences and environments instead of just passively consuming information.

- The document discusses how the term "navigation" has come to narrowly refer to menus on screens, but navigation actually refers to how people navigate and understand their entire environment.
- It argues that as professionals, we should think of navigation more broadly as how people perceive and act in an environment to understand it and meet their needs, rather than just focusing on menus.
- We are designing for people's entire lives and ecosystems, not just individual screens, so we need to consider how people navigate complex, multi-screen systems and understand underlying meanings and relationships.ARVEL Supernews July 2011

Sustainable Innovation with Immersive LearningLeonel Morgado

Prof. Leonel and Prof. Dennis approached educational uses, practices, and strategies of using immersion as a lens to interpret, design, and planning educational activities in a sustainable way. Rather than one-off gimmicks, the intent is to enable instructors (and institutions) to be able to include them in their regular activities, including the ability to evaluate and redesign them.
Immersion as a phenomenon enables interpreting pedagogical activities in a learning-agnostic way: you take a stance on the learning theory to follow, and leverage immersion to envision and guide your practice.VCE Literature Section A Exam Response Guide

The story revolves around a college student who despairs not having a red rose as a condition for dancing with the girl he loves. The nightingale hears his complaint and offers to create the red rose at the cost of his life. He sang a love song all night with his chest stuck to the thorns of the rose tree. Finally, the red rose grew, but his sacrifice was in vain. The girl rejected the flower because it didnt match her outfit and preferred a jewellery gift. The student threw the flower on the street and returned to studying philosophyThis is why students from these 44 institutions have not received National Se...

Intellectual property corresponds to ideas owned by a person or a firm and thus subjected to legal protection under the law.
The main purpose of intellectual property is to give encouragement to the innovators of new concepts by giving them the opportunity to make sufficient profits from their inventions and recover their manufacturing costs and efforts. A Visual Introduction to the Prophet Jeremiah

Second Life for educators
- 1. 油
- 2. VIRTUAL WORLDS Second Life Nelba Quintana Jennifer Verschoor Kip Yellowjacket
- 3. What are virtual worlds ? A virtual world is a computer based simulated environment intended for its users to inhabit and interact via avatars (a computer representation of a user ).
- 4. The most Popular: Second Life
- 5. A bit of information... It was opened to the public in 2003 It has grown explovsively It is entirely built and owned by its residents. Requirements: download the program for free , certain hardware and connection conditions.
- 6. AVATARS People = Avatars
- 7. How to start in SL? Probably the best thing to do is explore Second Life, visit existing areas set aside for educational projects and talk to other educators e.g: ISTE island http://edumuve.com/tour/iste-island/
- 8. The importance of being an Avatar Choosing the appearance of ones avatar as an educator is not so simple. We must take into consideration this question: What is an appropriate professional avatar appearance for education ?油
- 9. 油
- 10. What is a appropriate professional avatar appearance for education? 油 A lot depends on the nature of the course . I would say that extremes in whatever direction should be avoided both by teachers and students. As a free-lance language teacher working in-company as well as doing private tutoring, I often tend to look formal. How can the ability to alter avatar appearance be used as a teaching tool?油 油 Being able to change the avatars appearance is a wonderful tool for role-play activities to make avatars feel and look more real and thus help to find into ones role. Prof. Nergiz Kern ( Daffodil Fargiz in SL)
- 11. MOVEMENTS Teachers and students need to be familiar with avatars movements: walking, turning, stopping, flying, landing, sitting, jumping, teleporting.
- 12. Need some guidance? http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Video_Tutorials http://npirl.blogspot.com/2007/12/what-every-second-life-newbie-should.html http://www.sltutorials.net/ http://dennisintro2sl.pbwiki.com/ http://slurl.wikispaces.com/tips
- 13. Educational Uses of Second Life Second Life is completely user-generated 3D environment that comes with relatively easy-to-use building and scripting tools that anyone can learn. This makes it an ideal platform for engaging students in creating their own learning activities, experiences and environments, and not just be passive consumers of learning. Jo Kay (jokay)
- 14. Why is SL so innovative? Provides ideal environments in which to work because objects and people may react as in real life. Allows the combination of real-life classes and inside SL. Offers the possibility of combining different types of media .
