instructional technology

Many institutions of higher learning are expanding into the online virtual world of Second Life. It provides a unique interactive environment useful for a variety of purposes. The most common uses include distance education and collaboration, but many organizations are finding new ways to use the digital world to their advantage. Online conferences, trade shows and recruitment videos are popping up on some SL campuses, along with digital galleries for artists and lounges where students can watch short films submitted by other students. I took my avatar on a stroll through part of Ohio University’s SL campus and explored some of the ways they are making use of their digital space. Watch the video below. A more complete tour for OU’s campus can be found here.
