Second Life and Its Real-Life Double: How to Get Started in a Virtual World, and Why

The pedagogical rationale behind developing Lehigh University's successful island in Second Life as well as the nuts-and-bolts narrative of how we conceived, designed, constructed, and continue to develop it using mostly student workers can serve as a model for those interested in gaming, virtual worlds, and immersive learning. We plan to present this session both face-to-face and in real-time online.
