Immersive Learning in Preservice Teacher Education: Using Virtual Worlds
Published on July 6, 2012
HETL Note: We are pleased to present “Immersive Learning in Preservice Teacher Education: Using Virtual Worlds” – an academic article by CSU Chico’s Dr. Paula M. Selvester. The article describes how Second Life was used as part of an online course to support preservice teachers and provide a means to investigative their beliefs and attitudes about gender roles in society. The data showed that using Second Life in this way created a more transformative and interactive online course experience which led to new insights about gender roles in society.
The Technology & Learning Program is a division of CSU, Chico's Academic Technologies supporting the faculty and staff with variety of online and classroom technologies including Blackboard Learn, Bb Collaborate, Google Apps, Wimba, Second Life, TurnItIn, Clickers, Camtasia and more.
