Second Life(R) is a 3d virtual environment created by Linden Lab which
has captured the attentions of researchers and teachers from around
the world from a variety of disciplines.
This 1/2 day workshop aims to improve the understanding of Second Life
as a Learning and Research environment. It will bring 20-30
researchers together to collaborate, discuss and workshop diverse
topics related to research and learning in Second Life. We will pursue
a schedule in which participants will discuss their work and interests
on three different topics: learning in Second Life, research practices
in virtual worlds, and ethical research methods. In the end we will
try to come to terms with how can we better integrate our research
learning practices in this sphere?
This workshop is targeted at people who have experience in virtual
worlds and wish to work with others to improve their research and
their learning experiences in world.
