. I this is carried my mind Assistant Professor at forty State University at the College of Communication and Information . re teaching our Master's program about providing Information Services . you think online technology . and I have to study how people communicate information over online technologies can game Digital Library . Mike a kid it learning Styles in Second Life comes from the work I think the Link and looking at Information Services in New for court environments also considering how to bring some of that back into my Teaching . with those who are familiar with it secondlife its inter coal world and not unlike in Make it may be at that are the access it through . Information Technology interface . and you can Media body that represents you can for twelve . but the virtual world does not have to look like our world . and a body they knew the enemy . at this and have to look like him . in Second Life is a virtual world . most people have heard the time . that's because it's being used by businesses educators like briefing government . on the media has tended to concentrate on Second Life that in fact not the only perk for World . he said . I and there are hundreds of purple worlds now . he's not just by adults and teenagers but also by Again children . so twenty factors now so Korea's bundled with virtual wealth lot . I'm happy with his Westlake and it comes with a lot into that With can't recall world . same with the party goal world . the brass Old World . and then also there are team will play half of the talent and go whoa . that is Second Life . so we have generations now . growing up with virtual world . I started bringing my students in Second Life in two thousand and seven and twenty thousand and seven class at the top in last year's class can keep that tonight at the bottom . this picture represent something I think it's an interesting aspect of the perks will world environment which is that my on line gets its team tonight can actually stand together and taking classes but it can . Blitzer This defensive Pre Gene against it . and I was interesting to explore what else can beat you with the unique aspects it Teaching in a Virtual World environment . to help bridge distances and better support the Learning In Pre taken in terms of learning styles . Kelly Stouffer complicated issue . it's been variously called . learning Styles winning Preferences Multiple Intelligences . there are many different models . some but not all of which are shown here . I'm just in terms of the practical application to Teaching in Second Life . I was interested to look across at that General be using here is a big reading in these models . what have Peer twentieth mark model . gardeners or regional Multiple Intelligences . builders index of learning styles and my take on and I saw a few aspects particularly keen eyed lady here . Preference is in that scandal few weeks information is communicated to the students . and then Preferences in terms of the students Cognitive style . fill in a channel for delivering information and there were a few wolf found text or active pitchers the patient Kinesthetic activity . and then in the combination side inflight preferring to work alone or preparing to working elaboration Meeting to see get the picture first and then making the connections . or it Meeting to follow the step in an orderly sequence . she then assemble the big picture . and I didn't see Learning Styles playing out not just with the students but also with my colleagues that I collaborate with . and I would say I'm an intensely textual person . which means in a typical learning environment beach and have PDF to your classrooms . and online classes can't be Setup with a lot of reading writing . but can collaborating with people from other discipline . that is the business world and GIS MAP mapping . my colleagues are buried Visual . where does I will be sitting in meetings with them on keeping on my laptop for breaking up reports and educate their IPO be sitting next to me and they'll be trying little pictures and maps and charts and doing color code . . and even go there seems to be that he can to support text learners time in our teaching tool . environments . the majority of people tend to feel that they are games you learn . well Virtual Worlds certainly are intensely do you will . and so what start by going Wiki . I'm going Wiki through the different kinds of things you can view in the Super twelve environments . and from there to consider . learning activities to keep the plant to support different learning styles . and so the first thing my homeland Stevens are really interested in dealing is to personalizing customize their virtual world so that when accepting change their appetite . and in Second Life you can change anything and get your clothes . you can change or at the church Physical Features and peach color shorter after dinner . and some of the study tested and that people tend to be about setting . he called the equivalent of setting the car in Second Life . I'm a . API's de Chile individual changes to your child lying in wait blame the nose to the king else I'm I find it be on the way I tend to have the time and P students . I to deal as well as the artistic clear for . Select a when she is cremated appearance pieces . this is Changing might have occurred Skin and here simply by dragging a creamy Skin and here aren't might have that or are edit are from inventory . WHY can change everything so this is me again except that now I change my Skin shape here . in close so I can't the for look alike . Anyone in Second Life might have occurred can be eating each gender or graffiti . and I can also be in Beirut . this is me again where you can Seadryke haven't are . an artist play a little video of what it Seadryke look like . . . . . . . . you're . sort of get many groups . I can you expand . I can't slap the ground . lacking . right leaning and speed that your Bible . . . yes yes sixteen and made sure the deal call for specific just routine movement . everything from very startled the tool expression Skin Peak sequences of movies like dancing . look short YouTube videos he can play teach CDC animations in action not just for a short one here . I . the . . they heard can think . he animation and strains into different edit or movie together in sequence . Abbott are open to a lot of possible learning activities around physical appearance . Epstein in a and flew playing out Scenarios . the YouTube Role playing such as Role playing a historic character . juicy ensure that the educators co-op talked about in the findings were Students chairs and Stuart person . that is that a person who is a personal hero my victories and Malcolm X and they Each team research is that person they transform their habit are to look like that person . and then they can to subpoena discussion they represent that person's you Point and opinions . so there's something here for a lot of different learning styles that the issue is interactive . in the light discussion this he Peer points work text Chacon Ball . for both simultaneously . and they can choose to research their personal hero independently . but then they discuss and debate together to this but solitary work and Group learning . and basically it would be Ken in your academic discipline how you would . still Assignment around it get the ad that are that some of that disciplines where How that are based assignments . I would be particularly useful I think ninety gender studies in college and archaeology . sociology Literature art and fashion design . . the appetite in Bentley customizable so to make a virtual world itself . and people have creating everything from reproductions of the Sistine Chapel . T Shakespeare's Globe Theater . in Second Life the experience of tsunami YouTube like the The either hurricanes or walk on apartment fifty . and up to speed you the key here in the Sistine Chapel and harmed after Island in Second Life . . . this would be an interesting experience for History and Art students . Architecture Stevens is well liked in the real fifteen Chapel here you could actually fly into the ceiling and work very closely at the artwork in the architectural detail . . . you might have had the opportunity to use it . the real Sistine Chapel the this is Disagree production in Second Life . . a can for here . Professor Brian Carter at the University of Central Missouri create a reproduction of the Harlem renaissance here at to help you Students for late in the history and literature and art work that they were learning about . and so they can walk through a reproduction of Harlem in the nineteen twenty one nineteen thirty . making be immersed in the surroundings that they were reading about . that is the Cotton Club in its heyday in the Apollo Theater . and so you had the idea of virtual field trips into these immersive unarmed . students can not only read about Each in Rome but actually walk through a reproduction interact with the environment . this is a snapshot from Roma . I in its appeal . Classical Rome but it's also a Role playing in by . so there are people who are citizens of Rome . and it is everything here from Kallis in the air in Korea and chariot races . two lots of other historical the king of to each building teach statue in the environment has information attached to it . students can touch click items that they see and learn about the history . Rome also has a little team to play . each count is connected with the Roman god or goddess and we knew types found in a deity . here's explain their role in their history . also there are objects that each thousand associated with that guy or not this . so you can collect in such as collecting the shield of March . in terms of Teaching that open that possibility for fieldtrip a virtual tour . could be crimped work for can be self guy didn't . in this get your hunt where students can collect different items or collect pictures . taking pictures that they're out that are in front of locations would be another form of this capture . . they're also first Wall world Recreations of all types . so for question Natural Sciences there are places like undiscoveredflorida on Florida State University's virtual campus sites The FSU which is the campus . I'm affiliated with . he has a replica of needed for to how to attack and wildlife . they're also Museums and Exhibits . this is the International Spaceflight Museum which has over fifteen rockets and spacecraft left but it exhibit . that is a Planetarium . and it just isn't note here Perspective and pointed you can t . whatever you wanted to be so this is an example from the building from the perspective of a giant . and in this snapshot . I'm actually standing on top of this go next to the frying pan . to the speedy that perspective that's something that's familiar to kick in but and this continue at this either amounts . and this is sometimes referred to as the own goal . I've seen the environment from another creatures Perspective . so would be entirely possible in the virtual world to build an environment that is as a huge the it or hasn't he . see fit . with the early the next simulations of this tie was virtual who's the nation's in Second Life . the bill by psychologist a new CD this to teach this team is what the world might look like he appears to predict Teaching . to help them better understand locations twenty you . and the use of sound is really powerful here . because he not only see individual hallucinations that you often hear that voices inside it's pretty person's head . . to be Billy the she environment into whatever you can imagine means that students can be something in Second Life . they couldn't do you in real life . for example Experiencing the world at a particle level . this is the Exploratorium Brownian Motion right . we take the role of book article and Experiencing Brownian Motion and the Department of Energy had Second Life Brand . we experience being a particle it's just been shot through the park or salary . medically and perspectives here this is Northern Michigan universities Giant Anatomy Models . overlooking an initial hearing here . they also have other models such as Thai and larynx this which you can fly around and climb all over . the judge Larry says also had the built in quiz where parts of the larynx or highlight getting up to correct we identified that hurt . the quiz tells you when you're Writer on a track of your overall score and at the end . so it to Learning and Memory station it but not the standard text based members Teaching up as text but it's also Visual its treaty interactive . this can be repeated here to help you learn and you can also do the quiz individually or as determined . and be here Anatomy Models incorporates that into for example you can shout and see the effect on the movements here . . they're a common reaction people have to Virtual Worlds is that it looks like he didn't think and certainly use that . create games where students learn by solving challenges and concrete and quests . and when they features If the virtual world is that you can have scripts or programs that there can be Scripted object play this game about learning and what her scholarly journals as compared to popular Journal . the students sort out these journals on the shelves . no but have I made it yet but they concocted students getting clues or information for class . so it chatbot would be similar to a nine play a character in the game that gets out of helpful information to play here . a variation on this is the problem based Learning scenario . individually or as a Group students are pretty entry situation with a hefty diagnosed or document a problem . and then recommend perhaps even carry out a plan of action to solve the for four . so there are a lot of medical groups using these kinds of problems in areas as a teaching me that in this picture is the he and Myers Medical Center at Structure College . but with the earliest simulations of this type with the hurt Murmur Sim . he led have to listen to sounds from the stethoscope and identify different types of her sound and what they need in terms of the diagnosis . to this kind of simulations especially useful in situations in which . creepy saying this training in the real world . I might be desirable but typical . a good example is time to group called creepy train which has been getting emergency bio hazard training scenario . and in Second Life you can get this kind of simulated training experience with other real world risks and problems Unique encounter with the hazmat training situation . here it's up to you in terms of whatever you might imagine . that s something you can't implement . as the Problem case scenario for your students to explore Diagnosing Fall . and he's sitting up any sort of exhibit quarter team . scenario for quest Carol for for I have we . you can get information . Stevens is compatible with multiple learning styles . for text they can catch an object . and beginning notecard or breaking information . we're Visual thinking beginning in Introduce Coca texture and secondlife and a picture of the Manatee here is an example . written in from http of the texture in Second Life . it can get coaster or a book in the environment with images and text on the Peach and audio and video can be played in World to prevent of the Center for Disease Control PODCAST shown here can be clicked on completing her again world . the text object to open up a Web link . and there can be in the genes text can be views on with p . Ability to have the ambient sound . typically in Second like your kid . clearing current in the daytime in the press a howling war that night . but there's MX that simulation which has lettering goes say quote lines from the play as the champion said . and it was at a church can speak to each other in World using text and voice . I actually use it will call http heard in this helped me to deliver my speech is tonight Lectures wrote in text and teen boys . simultaneously took you a quick video at how that works . . . why . they were Exploring for the class . . so I'm standing here Graduate for delivering Visual display PowerPoint . and speaking in Boise and I'm clicking on this the heat the Add button at the top left to display one line of play lecture in Text chat at the time . so that's text voice and be to pull all of the same time and I want to add Kinesthetic activity . I can to physically demonstrating the skill to my students can have them do the same Activity with me following along . so it's a sense of what that would look like . in that can get this Instructional Slide is on Whiteboard the kind I have a car . and I'm teaching my students how to deal with a common problem here which is accidentally wearing a box in Second Life . this happens every day . so there any and demonstrating this Guillen imagine that Slide behind me I'm at the right the screen . and here's a picture of us are actually dealing with Activity together . I'm talking the steepest period using poison text simultaneously . this is great for text and audio Learners but also great for a hearing impaired student . or in a student you might just be having audio problems on that day . for a visual learners . I'm standing in ten of the giant in each previous like the sign . and I'm physically demonstrating the activity as another vehicle and then for Kinesthetic LearningThe Stevens are doing the activity along with me . besides the different channels for delivering information there's also the car maker Styles . that is preparing to learn together or two men separately in a more self piece we entered . the giant size books with PD it turned are not only useful in terms of the text and Visual . but also for those who prefer working alone at the learning how books in wait for it can be treated and left in the world for students to work . do you have there and he . and creating a book is The project students can be and it's actually not that difficult you can create the PGA as PowerPoint slide . and then acquitted each flight issue in the eighteen you just drag it into the bus . also built into second like you or your teaching . the Sistine can make it so much I went down into individual or group project . and I generally takes tedious to a quick answer on Experience with almost everything that they can create notecard script projects photograph Select in our them with the skills to create in a Virtual Worlds and that's one of the particular attraction to Second Life . my tendency has been to do a lot Applied sessions with two students as an entire class together . but there are lots of examples of setting up self guided . so he learning experiences . this is an assignment on Genome Island where students investigate her edit keep you bought me Experiments . separate sample three click on the plants engage the day in Text chat about Each claims her Editing . and then the follow the posted instructions to keep it from Text chat into a sprint team . AP Analyze that can come up with their lethal . so here we're getting a little more into the aspects of Cognitive Learning Styles working separately or together the new pope received the picture but also to work him into the twelfth that . and this is when the techniques I really like for . I Showing the different parts of the sequences well it's the big picture . this involves laying out a principal example of each stage of the process for students to look that interact with them in the key . this example is from the ivory tower of Crimson on the far right if the completing object students are learning to Bill . the circular object . and they cart was from lefty see the different steps in sequence that this building process . first you get this in the media definitely view that and that the far right is your result . it's also interesting about Second Life has the ability to create a full scale physical representation of the conceptual model . so this is Bloom's Taxonomy . the Cognitive process to mention in the knowledge can mention . AP click on a model he get example separate sample I click at the intersection between the cognitive processes remembering and then knowledge dimension and conceptual knowledge . but you get the example of remembering and recognizing the symptoms of exhaustion . so I think a crazy guy can climb all over this whole Model I can click on all these different dimensions think it Examples the the and touching each one . they can also click to get in notecard telling me all about Bloom's Taxonomy in general . . and it's also important to you think about Facilitating Student This case into things that would work in a regular classroom . that is reading your can are necessarily as easy more active in the virtual . in addition she Text chat and Voice chat be helpful to have some sort of rooting for feedback through will . I'd like Art click or Systems . I hear it each and for on line . I've said this . Votemaster Voting tool is one example in Second Life . it's a treaty Teaching the five categories team whatever you the edge . it's also the more Kinesthetic style . Ability tool called the heater enough displayed a quick video at that . . this one is more likely Scale Kite the feedback from Stevens and tool more active maybe a little more fun the intensive and they get to be involved in running around and I'm scrambling from one point win at this they cast their vote . the support of one kind of picture station to think about . students can also be involved in Service Learning that is projects that benefit the community . opportunities for students to get real hands on experience in dealing projects for virtual world library these teams non-profits and different city the connections that Instructors can me . . for example the guest be cured . here is talking to my students about opportunities to get involved in Community Virtual Library at mville Island . I can do students can help build collections for this Digital Light Parade taking Answer Questions on the light trees Merkel Reference Desk . and that's great for the students to get that kind of experience on their resume before they graduate . NBC is all sitting together here in the outside classroom I mentioned before the moment when my students in I stood together and take a picture together . I see this as an important aspect of what's different about Teaching in a Virtual World . what's been called social present . the ability to be aware of the chad is present . we think about it . I mean the at the educational software tapes and the president is all about being Verbal and family . I'm taking something or saying something is how we know you're really there . inter told experiences different . sample one of my students cockpit that making and nonverbal connection in friendship with another steam . just kidding Interaction of their appetites nonverbal playing around doing different activities together side by side . many comments from Stevens along the lines that you were together every weekend Live online classes in other types of software . eliminate computer conferencing Blackboard Wiki is blocking community . this virtual world experience was the first time the film really present your together in the face with their instructor and Intel esteem and standing around sitting around bumping into each other . I'm doing things together . . alternately leading use this environment you do something for online Students which we hadn't been able to do before that was to have an online Graduation family to the dean of our colleagues in the current director for programs focused well as number for Faculty . any kid you affective interesting things separate sample and Dr Paul Marty said the deal with how wanted to be all the parish he into Graduation ceremony here . he actually does that in Second Life . and we had music and fireworks at the end . and students walk in the ceremony wearing their graduation can . and Faculty with they're wearing their regalia . so I think this . Hispanic aspect of being embodied in being there together . for the online gift and Stephen is an important part of that court experience that Teaching and Learning in a Virtual World . . and that's Media Networks a rig in on time . Links here for further information about virtual worlds the IPO fifteen things on Virtual Worlds to the number of Resources for educators including links to a handout that I Created on the places where Learning in Second Life . and I'm involved and in a project which included Curriculum on MERLOT AU . and that's the IPO to use Internet Public Library . I and we have a bunch of materials for teaching and learning about the July increase as well as new technology . I also have been article was to hear and see the brand new article that came out and it's focused on help for educators interested Teaching Second Life that has a lot of useful tips and tricks in terms of how you we get started and what other people have them in Second Life . that's a lot of examples from a variety of different disciplines as well . so thanks very much and I look forward to seeing you online . . .
