Virtual Worlds (VW)
A virtual world is a simulated space or a world.
The infrastructure is created and community of practise is defined by its users.

Loyalist CollegeCustoms and Immigration students LEARNING OUTCOME RESULTS
Before September 11, 2001, Customs and Immigration students at Loyalist College spent three weeks closely tailing professional border guards to experience the daily routine of their future job.
In a post-911 environment however, this was no longer allowed.

Training suffered until the Director of Educational Technology at Loyalist College catalyzed a virtual border crossing simulation in Second Life for Loyalist students.
The amazing results of the training and simulation program have led to significantly improved grades on students' critical skills tests, taking scores from a 56% success in 2007, to 95% at the end of 2008 after the simulation was instituted.

+ ”European Literary History”
Virtual learning pathwayfor 2nd level students
Compared learning in two secondary high schools- some students used SL- some students used text book
+ ”In literature
the theory is
text-based.
Good place for
that is a book or
a VLE.”
”SL-pathway
substitutes e.g.
timeline-work
or groupwork of
literary history.”
”Is was surprising
how teacher got to
know the students
in many levels
here in SL.”
”The students
remembered the
learning matter
well - even after
a long time.”
