Our campus in Francisco López

I feel as…

I’m a librarian, not a professor Our goal is humbler Our results are very humble, too

Our models were libraries in SL: Info Island Information Archipelago

A good way to display and access information Visibility Possibility of cooperation with fellow librarians

An island in SL from January 2008 Campus available in June 2008 More than visits since then

But? Activities? Training courses? Eh, is there anyone there?

Activities Meetings. Reader’s club.

Training courses for blended learning degrees Only one, and only with one student…

Some ideas collected here Second Life is out of the Immersive Education Initiative. Technical requirements. If socialization is not a goal, we’d better to use other tools.

Some ideas collected here Don’t use it only for upload contents If it’s empty, is boring. Ahhhhg!

Some questions Is there enough information for potential users (professors, students)? Aren’t we able to explain the benefit of this environment for educational purposes, especially for blended learning? Has Second Life as a whole, and specially as an educational environment, perhaps been a victim of its own success?

Answers Many given here. Students don’t know we’ve got this tool. Some professors did, but their framework is different. And other professors…

Opportunities We don’t try to change educational paradigms, only to help… Blended learning: Isolation leads to dropout. Library training courses for blended learning degrees. Information Literacy.

Thank you! Francisco López Hernandez – Biblioteca de la
