Using Second Life for education is something that Languagelab have been researching and developing since SL was in beta. Now educators all over the world are using SL to produce unique and innovative projects. From learning a language to tracking flight paths in real time over a city, using a virtual platform to perform research and deliver education solutions is what many see as the future of Second Life.
The Second Life Education Support Faire has brought together educators from all over the world to showcase their projects. Languagelab has presented on several topics including; Lessons from two years of teaching in SL, the challenges of providing a multi-cultural registration area, The English City People and how acting can be used in teaching English, Languagelab’s history and the technology and logistics of running English City and the website.
Languagelab has received very positive responses from all the presentations so far and will be presenting again at:
