Terra Nova: Teaching in Second Life: One instructor's perspective on 2009-12-14
- And a lot of those norms — like, raising your hand and waiting for someone to stop speaking before you begin speaking — they just dont make sense in the Second Life environment because it would just take way too long to have a discussion.
  
  And as a result we were basically faced with the challenge of having to develop a whole new set of classroom norms that worked in this environment.
- much easier time expressing themselves in the Second Life environment, than in the more formal writing [assignments] and turning it in on our courseware website
- 16 more annotations...
- - some students on the other side
  - had a harder time in the spontaneous, more interactive discussions that we were having in the classroom environment in Second Life
  - I don't necessarily mean it would be easier for them than acting in real life. This is just opposed to them acting in their normal way in a distance education class, interacting mainly through a website and through email with their instructors
  - create a sense of class community
  - having a physical representation of their "selves" through their avatars
  - was quite important in having them establish relationships with each other
  - express something of their personality that wasn't necessarily directly related to what we were doing in the class
  - probably helped to draw in some students
  - typical narrow view of what Second Life was going to be like
  - I think that it's not until you spend some time in there that you start to get a sense of the way in which it's different, because it's kind of hard to pinpoint, to put into words, what exactly is making the difference
  - it became clear that running the class in a text-based environment has a whole lot of advantages over the face-to-face environment that I just hadn't anticipated
  - Your comment just goes right into the conversation, along with everybody else's. So i think a lot of the anxiety that goes along with the public-speaking aspect of participating in class discussions, is just removed in this environment
  - So for me the idea that I would actually end up almost preferring to run a class in a text-based environment to a voice-based environment, that was a huge surprise
  - People sort of tend to stay on one topic or another, especially if the moderator is doing her job well
