Teaching gets a Second Life

For several months, Western’s Information Technology Resource Centre (Secondlife linden) has been working with Faculty of Information and Media Studies associate professor Carole Farber and English professor Mark McDayter on projects to develop buildings and interactive spaces on a plot of land Western purchased in Second Life called ITRC Island.

Although in its early development stages, McDayter has started to create a medieval village with a coffee house for visitors to discuss literature or other areas of interest, and a printing press. Farber is also experimenting with collaboration in the virtual world. Even Western’s trademark, University College tower, has made its way into this alternate world.
