Spokesman-Review, The. (July 6, 2008). "Education island: WSU students enter a brave new world inside 'Second Life'"

 

Article about Washington State University using Second Life to teach an instructional design course through.  Reveals potential future plans for WSU use of SL, as well as some recommendations for educators considering using the program--

"--Temper your expectations. "There's a tremendous wow factor for people just discovering 'Second Life,' " he said. Students need some time to adjust and learn how to move and operate in that world.

-- "Understand what your expectations are," Cillay said. Rather than expect huge gains in a classroom environment, consider it a first step in educational experimentation.

-- Give yourself and the students time to explore. "Do some research ahead of time, so you know the environment and find out what other educators are doing there," said Cillay."
