Peachey, A and Withnail, G (2009) Higher Education Academy Project Final Report 'Exploring Information And Communication Technologies Through A Virtual World'

This mini project facilitated the development of resources within the virtual world Second Life® (SL) to support students learning on a 30 credit level one course in information and communication technologies with The Open University (OU). The Second Life stream for the course was optional, and students were provided with induction tutorials for the environment, time-limited access to models supporting their learning within each of 3 course blocks, and a supported discussion session to conclude each of these periods. The programme ended with a two-day course fair in Second Life, culminating in a party with the wider OU in SL community.
