Now I'm getting really enthustiac!
Here's me flying around SL, complete with furry tail, and where do I stumble into - Herdfordshire University
Well, being the curious fellow that I am, I pop along to the internet and yahooandbehold (I don't google) there it is. So after printing off the promotional flyer and having a read I'm think that this encapsulates many of the strands that this module is talking about. Here we have a game 2nd life, so we're engaged, where the students from 2-75 can interact "in settings... from the serious to the fanciful".
In the university, they use traditional media but also the SL chat and interactive audio via skype. No mention of discussion boards though, so I'm wondering if these would be meta-game?
Mindblowing!!!
And there's more. USQ have a campus as well. Well, Lindy McKeown has. She has set up a campus that I've just about to look around. I wonder if Petrea is aware of this?
