Avatars

Blackstone Skytower

 
Students and teachers are represented in Second Life by an ‘avatar’.
Students in the Georgian London project will create avatars based upon research into life in Georgian London.

Georgian London Project

Welcome to the Georgian London Project Homepage. This site is a resource for Australian academics in the Humanities who are considering using a virtual environment as a learning and teaching tool. This project has two aims:

  1. To model and develop contemporary Humanities curricular to meet the needs of today’s students, teachers and universities.
  2. To provide a resource for teachers interested in adapting or developing Humanities courses to include a virtual environment who are often faced with questions such as:
    • Which virtual world should I choose?
    • What kind of resources and support can I draw upon and how do I find them?
    • What kind of problems might I encounter?
    This site provides pages on the Georgian London Project, a virtual Georgian London now being constructed in Second Life, bios and contact details, useful links, a photo gallery and more. Additional pages and features, such as a teachers’ handbook and a wiki will be added as the project develops. Please feel free to contact us with suggestions and requests and to share your own thoughts about and experiences with virtual worlds in the Humanities.
