Second Life Classroom in the classroom at Iowa State University
October 20, 2008 – 11:07 am
As an alumni of Iowa State University and Baker University, I try to stay on top of the latest happenings at the schools.
For Iowa State, I receive their College of Business alumni magazine called “Prospectus” and published twice per year. In addition to sending out the magazine in print, they also make the publication available online.
I stumbled upon an article (PDF) about how Iowa State and other universities are using Second Life as an education tool. For those unfamiliar with Second Life, it is an internet-based 3-D virtual world that launched about 5 1/2 years ago.
You don’t have to look much farther than Business Week, Inc. and a whole slew of other magazines to read about them, so I am excited that educational institutions are taking advantage of technology to reach students.
