Student Seating Object

I received an email today describing preliminary approval for my bid on a new Socializing Seating Object. The object may be developed for use by the Skoolaborate group, with participating schools across Australia and the Orient, Europe and America where students are helping each other to learn their respective languages.

Although teleconferencing has been used in education for years, the advent of virtual world technology may enhance the experience…but how?

“…an increased sense of presence in the virtual world leads to better comprehension and retention of information if the technology is being used for training purposes, and trainees are happier with the process.”
Mitzi Montoya – in a news release about VW research at NCSU
