Welcome to the LLL3D project!

Are you a practitioner who works in the field of education and training? Have you heard the terms MUVEs, or Second Life? Do you work within the field of European Lifelong Learning? The LLL3D project is promoting opportunities for teachers, trainers, researchers to discover, learn about and utilise different “learning scenarios” for virtual worlds. Our learning scenario approach provides access to best practice case studies across formal, non formal and informal levels and different sectoral activities.

Is your SL avatar a projection of yourself?

Submitted by shirleyearley on 14 August, 2009 - 14:17

I am currently reading Peter Bradwell's The Edgeless University, there is a lot of information in it and I'll write a review when I finish it. But today I was reading a sub-section entitled: Learning in an immaterial world, the opening sentence starts:
"Second Life, an immersive virtual world in which people control avatars (digital projections of themselves)..."

American Army

Submitted by karlund on 29 July, 2009 - 17:01

Many years ago I first heard of American Army - the game. It intrigued me that the American Army would create a game for both recruitment and training purposes, giving it away for free. Ever since then it has always been at the back of my mind that I ought to try it out, as it apparently is sporting quite a lot of training material and educational practice from a militaristic point of view.

Amazon holding a job fair in Second Life

Submitted by shirleyearley on 8 July, 2009 - 08:45

"The very first Amazon Job Fair in Second Life will take place on Tuesday July 14th and will run from 6 AM to Midnight, PST." according to their blog. This looks as though it may be an interesting way of recruiting, but I guess would be candidates who are not familiar with Second Life need to have plenty of practice time to ensure they move smoothly and have the right interview appearance.

Managing Meetings in Second Life

Submitted by shirleyearley on 24 June, 2009 - 22:10

In many ways setting up a meeting in Second Life is much the same as arranging one in real life, but there are some challenges that the organisers may not realise. It was a chance remark over Twitter that led to Pauline Randall and I writing "Managing Meetings in Second Life: The Protocol Guide", the guide is available at Scribd.

LLL3D is a project that is looking at better understanding how Virtual Worlds can be used in Lifelong learning.
On the LLL3D web site we have just put Google Translate, we also have the facility that links any posts I make on RedGloo, tagged with LLL3D to the LLL3D site.
This screenshot shows a couple of my posts now showing in French.

Drug Busting

There is an interesting blog post at New World Notes. A consultancy group has built a simulation of a meths lab in the hope that law enforcement agencies will use it to train staff to recognise a meths lab when they see one.  The simulation was created from sets of photos.
