An Open Resource for Teachers and Lecturers

This Blog has been developed as a handbook for using 3D digital platforms such as Second Life to facilitate interactive story telling. It contains a series of activities for students new to Second Life to help them and their teachers to use Second Life effectively. Students will be able to explore, communicate and build in Second Life through a series of simple and enjoyable exercises.
