I have a class of 45 students and want to use SL for in-class activities. My SL server supports 40 avatars 'in theory', and after testing, it's more like 25. This makes the synchronous opportunities much more complex to implement. Not impossible, but complex.<BR/><BR/>2. I have seen things in SL that represent great learning opportunities asynchronously. The NOAA space comes to mind, where they've created simulations of natural disasters. I can go there by myself and learn a great deal.Barthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614482627121562357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592362.post-76549997313169499102007-11-09T14:22:00.000-05:002007-11-09T14:22:00.000-05:00I listen to Science Friday on NPR on podcasts and ...I listen to Science Friday on NPR on podcasts and they apparently have a Second Life room where avatars go in and participate in the discussion. Sounds like they have a pretty active S.L. synchronous participation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
