Tutorial overview Find out why the university has set up their Web Campus. |
There is a growing demand amongst universities worldwide to maintain a virtual presence online in Second Life, for teaching, collaboration and research. Many see this as the first step, looking forward to how the technology will develop over time, and many find novel ways to present immersive content, collect feedback and open their doors to the general online public. The University of Nottingham has developed a Web Campus in Second Life as an exploration of the 3-D web and how it can help in teaching and learning. As a truly global university this offers exciting possibilities for making students and teachers feel connected.
