As I am going to be using Second Life to try and increase student motivation and participation in critical studies, it would make sense to investigate a few of the tools available within this MUVE (Multi-User-Virtual-Enviroment. Obviously the number of tools available are growing everyday and this is something I am hoping to take advantage of in the development of my resource for the students.
This SL movie demonstrates how to obtain and set up a notecard reader. This is used to allow students to access large amounts of useful information via reading off a screen.
This movie demonstrates a Slideshow viewer for teaching.
This clip demonstrates an interactive slide show tool.
This is an interesting clip showing how to set up a blog in Second Life and a Quiz survey tool.
This brochure display tool in SL allows you to click on small thumbnails on a grid to view larger versions. I can see some uses for this in my resource location.
This video goes through a selection of tools that can be used via SL to aid MUVE teaching.
Clip demonstrates how a triple screen viewer can be set up for use in a lecturer theatre or similar.
Second Life clip demonstrating some of the learning tools that are available for students, such as media viewers and simulations.
Here are some link that Hannah Drayson sent me of a really interesting tool within SL.
