and collaborative opportunities.

Instructional Tools for Second Life
Description: Virtual worlds are proving to be an excellent venue for classes at a
distance. But like all forms of class presentation, an instructor needs to know what
tools are available and how to make the best use of them. This four week class will
introduce students to the educational tools available in the virtual world of Second
Life.
Instructors: S. Thompson (Hypatia Dejavu) and JJ Jacobson (JJ Drinkwater)
Thursdays, September 3, 10, 17, 24 4:00 - 6:00 PM SL (US Pacific) time
Virtual World Librarianship

skills and knowledge are needed? What resources are available? This is a hands-
on course that will introduce you to providing reference services and building
collections and exhibits in Second Life, to planning programs and events, and to
the skills needed for the 21st century librarian in a virtual world.
