There are many ways to learn, and/or to be taught. In the digital age that is upon us, it is inevitable that learning environments would become digital as well.
Virtual learning environments (VLE) are very effective, and means that the individual can interact from any location with an internet connection. The flexibility and mobility of this type of learning is invaluable.
More and more organisations, whether public or private, are joining the virtual worlds bandwagon and the National Health Service (NHS) are no different. Paramedics in training are using Second Life to take part in scenerios they may find themselves in real life, through their virtual avatar. The scenerios are set by the institution in which they are training.
Technology giant IBM has paved the way for other businesses by appointing a ‘Metaverse Evangelist’ to promote the usage of Second Life and the range of virtual worlds available to the private sector.
