Virtual Worlds
The Faculty of Land and Food Systems’ Learning Centre is very pleased to announce the ninth session of its 2008 Brown Bag Lunch series!
Please join us next Wednesday for a seminar presented by Tim Wang, Manager of Instructional Development for the Faculty of Arts.
Where: MacMillan Building Room 350 (2357 Main Mall)
When: Wednesday, May 21st, 2008, from noon to 1pm
The e-Learning industry is at a cross point where rich media is merging with
the traditional content. More and more, educators are exploring the
possibilities offered by virtual worlds and 3D environments. This is simply
because avatar based learning is favored by the younger generation of
learners. This session will provide the audiences with real-life case
studies and projects in order to further examine the phenomena.
