Workshop: Using Virtual Worlds to Enhance Your Course

Are you looking for alternative ways to engage your students? Virtual worlds provide an immersive 3D environment that many instructors in higher education are using with their students as an exciting teaching tool. NOVA has a region in a virtual world called Second Life (SL) that has over 20 educational activities to enhance student learning.

NOVA Online will offer a virtual workshop that will explain the many ways instructors have used Second Life with their students. It will also give you some creative ideas on how you can incorporate SL into your courses. Click here for a list of NOVA’s Second Life resources.

NOVA’s SL region currently has activities for biology, geology, language, healthcare, art and more! Help is available via tutorials, handouts and videos as well as a thriving virtual education community.

Join us on Wednesday, Oct. 12, from 11 a.m. until 12 p.m. Register here.

If you can’t join for the live session, feel free to register, and you’ll receive a link to the recording after the session.
