E-Learning
Second Life
A metaverse for prospective and current students
Second Life is the largest user-created virtual platform in the world.
Unlike MiRTLE, which provides a mixed-reality
environment, this particular campus is completely virtual. It offers
three-dimensional chat and a digital space that can be accessed from the comfort
of your own home.
The 65,000 squared meters' International Academy campus,
situated on
Wivenhoe Island, is a recreation of part of the campus in Colchester. It has four
towers, 8 classrooms, an auditorium and several recreational areas.
At Wivenhoe you will find information on free classes for a trial we are
running on our other virtual platform (Wonderland). You'll receive a guest
user name and password and be able to use that to log into a SLOODLE course (a
course that integrates Second Life and Moodle). You'll be able to get day passes to visit the campus and listen to a maths and an MA tesol lecture in
Anchor House. You may meet current students and staff. You'll find
useful landmarks and objects in the welcome area that may help you if you are
new to Second Life.
