Experience **

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Infolit%20iSchool/126/243/21/
Sheila Yoshikawa gives a presentation from the Learning Through Enquiry
Alliance conference held on 14-15 July 2009 in Reading in RL. She will be
discussing how using an Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) approach is synergistic
with a curriculum that fosters a good First Year Experience. She will use the
example of the first year of the BSc Information Management at the University
of Sheffield, UK & draw on the IBL/FYE literature. Her presentation includes
some discussion of the value of using an interviewing exercise in SL as part of
the experience (but most of the presentation is not specifically about SL).
Sheila will also provide some observations on other presentations in the first
day of the LTEA conference.
