Lessons Learned Implementing an Educational System in Second Life
3rd - 7th September 2007
I co-authored this paper and presented it at BCS - HCI 2007 in September 2007.
It can also be viewed at the conference BCS website.
The conference is titled "Not as we know it" and the paper discusses Second Life:
Second Life is an online 3D virtual environment that offers
interesting potential for use in education due to its widespread
availability, flexibility, and its use of standard platforms and
input devices. Given a broad design brief for a nine-week
masters student project of using Second Life for education, we
explored a range of potential ways of using the environment,
and designed and implemented a 3D turtle-graphics system. In
this paper we present our findings together with a reflection on
both the constraints that Second Life places on the range of
educational uses worth pursuing, and the specific issues likely
to be faced by researchers creating other such systems.
