Using the Metaverse to Enhance Your Course, Today at 3
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 as an exciting teaching tool. Join us today, Wednesday, October 16, at 3 p.m. for a workshop that explores the virtual world of Second Life (SL). Although the platform is not new, it has constantly improving 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.
This session will include opportunities for discovering 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, walking through Machu Picchu in Peru or even visiting the Vordun Art Museum in Munich, Germany. Students can explore a variety of disciplines and even access virtual libraries complete with live help—all at any time and from any place.
