IOLE Feedback

Undergrads: “I learned a lot about SL and picked up new skills along the way.”

“I learned a lot about copyright, which I found I didn’t really understand.”

“I have a better understanding of the internet, and learned things college wouldn’t have necessarily taught me.”

“I enjoyed the guest tutors and the lectures given, very interesting.”

“Top class, very well put together”

“I feel well versed in the content of this module. I was learning far more, as it was very self directed.”

“I learned how to play with art.”

“Online classes are more convenient and I can take in more.”

SL'ers: “I’d never put Second Life together with my real life profession. I found I was a natural leader, sharing my skills and expertise with other students, and together learning new ways of working online and making working online easier.”

“Even though I was professionally aware of these online tools, I found that taking this course gave me a way to make the time to actually learn them and put them to use in an immediate manner.”

“I learned how to merge my online Second Life persona with my real life professional persona without 'exposing' my personal life. I met and worked with wonderful people abroad I’d never have met staying in my professional ‘island.’ And I am now teaching a new course at my work on social media.”
