About this episode

"Castles in the air"A Presentation by Light Sequent aka Lesley Scopes at Train for Sucess in Second Life for the Gronstedt Group entitled Castles in the air based on the dissertation "Learning archetypes as tools of Cybergogy for a 3D educational landscape: a structure for eTeaching in Second Life" The presentation examines traditional educational theories in the light of the affordances of a virtual world and introduces a new conceptual framework of a pedagogy reflecting the affordances and understanding of on-line learning which incorporates the implementation of Learning Archetypes (models of activities) to maximise the essence of a virtual world, in as much as it is able to facilitate learning experiences delimited by physical world constraints. It builds upon these ideas to develop a working model of Cybergogy and Learning Archetypes in 3D with a view to making it available to people who wish to demonstrate theoretically robust lesson and course planning. Conclusions are drawn that identify the merits and challenges of implementing such a model of Cybergogy into eTeaching and eLearning conducted in Second Life.
