Introduction to Second Life? As a Virtual Training Environment: Perception of University Teachers

摘要

In January 2020, two three-hour workshops on an introduction to Second Life® as an online educational platform were held inside a virtual world. The workshops were dedicated to medical university teachers with the main objective being to let them get to know Second Life® and its formative possibilities. The format of this experience was well received by the participants. Everyone who answered the questionnaire agreed that the environment was useful and interesting and that they would repeat a similar experience again. Ten out of 23 participants (43.5%) declared that they were willing to carry out a teaching activity in Second Life®. This kind of action allows for the promotion of other future in-world actions directed to the training of trainers.
