Using virtual worlds for learning

Marco Tippmer, Virtual World Strategy Consultant, Capgemini

Virtual worlds are 'Marmite' technologies - you either love them or think they're a flash in the pan. This webinar is for those seeking to go beyond an immediate reaction and investigate what they can offer. Marco Tippmer of Capgemini will investigate where virtual environments can add value to learning, and will include a tour of Second Life:

• Technology and terminology introduction
• Setting up avatars and navigating the virtual environment
• A short guided tour of Second Life, focusing on learning
• An introduction to virtual world development
• Where might virtual worlds be useful in your workplace?
