Learn to Use the Metaverse to Enhance Your Spring Course, April 4

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 to bring their students an exciting teaching environment. This workshop explores the virtual world of Second Life (SL). Although this platform is not new, it has constantly improved educational experiences. NOVA’s dedicated region alone has over 20 educational activities to enhance student learning for biology, geology, language, healthcare, art, and more! Several NOVA instructors who use the platform will be on hand to share their experiences and answer your questions. Help is available via tutorials, handouts, and videos, as well as a thriving virtual education community. Click here for a list of NOVA’s SL resources.

Join us on Thursday, April 4 at 3:30 p.m. for a virtual overview of this great tool. This session will include opportunities to discover regions and activities that you choose. Just indicate your interests or disciplines when you register for the workshop and those will be highlighted. Imagine exploring an interactive Globe Theater set in Shakespearean England or visiting the Vordun Art Museum in Munich, Germany. Fully participate in a hands-on experiment in a chemistry lab or even navigate a giant model of an ear!  Students can explore a variety of disciplines, and even access virtual libraries complete with live help–all at any time or from any place. Register here.
