Assessing the Student Experience in Second Life

For several years, educational innovators have experimented with using virtual worlds such as Second Life to enhance student learning. Though many of these implementations seem successful, few have incorporated structured assessment. This panel brings together practitioners from four institutions that have conducted such assessments to discuss their results.

This session will be simulcast in Second Life.
