Second Life Teaching for Students With Disabilities

Location: Virtual Worlds Education Roundtable

I ran a transcript of a talk by Georgia Tech faculty members Robert Todd and Chris Langston. VWER moderator Grizzla Pixelmaid moderated.

The information is very useful and provides a good case for using virtual worlds for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses. Special thanks to Grizzla for pulling this event together on Feb. 2. Readers can get the full transcript here.

About In a Strange Land

I'm Joe Essid, a faculty member at University of Richmond. I began exploring virtual worlds in January, 2007 and taught with Second Life and in OpenSim Grids until Spring, 2013, when I tossed in the towel on a technology I still don't find ready for prime-time, educationally or professionally. These ramblings began as sense-impressions of irreal spaces by a naif in Second Life. I wrote them for our local paper's Web site, and when the "hype era" about SL ended, I moved my musings over here to Blogger. My research and teaching focus on the history of communications technology. I've decided to revive this blog after 8 years of hiatus to consider generative AI and education, plus--who knows!--another splash into the strange land of Second Life.
