  • Fine work indeed thank you for sharing this.

  • "Skill Mastery Hyperdome" in SL from New Zealand, video by @pookymedia--well done by all!

  • Love it! Congrats to the NZ group and to Pooky for a great video. -- Chimera

  • Could you comment on the value of the SL platform vs doing these exercises in person w the students? What does the virtual world component add?

  • Comment removed

  • Part 1-

    There are a number of advantages using SL for these exercises.

    Firstly, there is the ability to have all the students actively involved in role-plays and interview practise at the same time. Then there is the advantage of being able to link classes of students, pairing students off with interviewers they don't know, inviting in guest interviewers.

  • Part 2-

    A huge advantage is the relative safety that students feel when they first role-play in SL - their avatar allows them to be just that bit more confident, more prepared to take a risk and open themselves to the experience. Students have commented that the experience seems very real and this is hard to achieve in the classroom.

  • I like the idea that Second Life simulation is "more real" than a real life classroom!

    Thanks for the clarification. So you are saying that SL allows all the students to be involved in the role-plays, whereas in the classroom only a subset of them could do it at time? Is this a space issue?

  • I have been working with midwifery students doing role play & what I have found is SL gives the role play an authenticity that we can't find in the class room, yet at the same time, the student feels very 'safe'

  • Impressive! Congratulations too all involved in the proejct and the video! ;)

  • Brilliant and professional
