I am thinking of using my main project work in Second Life as the focus for Adaptive Play too. My students at Cornwall College find it difficult to see the relevance of contextual studies/History of Design and Art to their chosen area of study, whether that be Animation or Multimedia. I think Second Life would be a great place to widen there horizons and get them seeing in different ways to complete assignments in an original, fun and engaging way.
I am hoping to set up SL in my class room soon allowing me to experiment with various task/games etc to see how the students adapt to this way of learning.
I am hoping to expand this research to offer the College a fun and immersive way of improving enthusiasm for theory/conceptual based assignments, as well meeting the need for cultural diversity and equality. I also want to provide a space where students can exhibit their work, which is not restricted by opening times or the space it which it will reside.
