I led one of the Innovate-Live Seminar Series yesterday. It was a great experience and I can't say enough good things about James L. Morrison, Editor-in-Chief of the Innovate Journal of Online Education and Denise Easton over at ULiveandLearn.
The seminar was titled Designing Effective Asynchronous Learning in the Virtual 3D Environment and addressed how we seize the asynchronous opportunities that virtual worlds provide to drive learning forward as opposed to simply extending the traditional classroom model of learning into the virtual world.
I also prepared the following paper to accompany the seminar. Click here to download:
