The previous pictures were taken on Thursday morning shortly before I met James Corbett in Second Life. We had serious problems with time lag, which we speculated were a result of the large number of users on the simulation at that time (the bar was jammed!)
However, there were almost as many people there on Sunday morning when this was taken. The picture shows my avatar "Conn Edgeworth" with some others, in the street outside the Blarney Stone Bar. I was delighted to meet Ham Rambler, owner of Virtual Dublin - the avatar of Second Life entrepreneur John Mahon.
Ham explained to me that Thursday's problems were down to server issues experienced by Linden Labs, the company behind Second Life. He was confident we would not have such problems again - and even offered us a room in "Trinity College" for our next meeting!
Our students Chantelle and Nisreen at the Master of Arts in Digital Technologies for Language Teaching collaboratively reflect on their experience on doing activities on an online Virtual World. Read their thoughts:
When we entered Small worlds, we had a lot of questions about its nature and application as an educational tool in language classrooms. In the beginning we were confused with the so many avatars appearing and disappearing, and then we got engaged creating our own avatars. Our 3D lifelike avatars were reflecting our own identities, their looks, style; even the nicknames were very similar to us in real world.
During the session, we were thinking about our students all the time, about the affordances and shortcomings of Small Worlds. We started realizing how the anonymity related to avatars could really help reluctant students to reduce their language related anxiety. Although there is no opportunity for expressing emotions and reactions properly, yet there is some sense of real immersion and tempting engagement in these worlds. Moreover, Small Worlds can be effective in creating a community of people sharing ideas collaboratively. As for us as students in Small Worlds, we were relaxed, happy, and most importantly did not feel the time. It was so real and engaging!
