this is freaky.

do you have to be nursing in rl to be a student in sl?

[MsSuz1963]

I just watched this video as part of a class assignment. We are discussing the furure. I don't know how much I really like this type of teaching, but I believe that SL is developing this type of teaching with the intention of incorporating it into all types of areas. SL's 'tools for teaching in SL' is a good video that explains there selling points and goals in future education.

This is cool ! Good work!

I think this is so innovative! However, I still believe that nothing is better than real life role play scenarios. Your idea would be good for long distance learning, international students, and perhaps some rural communities. Are you still working on this? Do you have any control over facial expression? The student nurse looks terrified! lol Well done though. :) (I wonder if the rest of the School would be interested in this....??).
