Greetings,
I’ve recently become part of a Second Life users learning
community at UW-Whitewater… have any of you developed any geology course
modules in Second Life? I’m tentatively thinking of creating field-based
activities in SL… where students can measure outcrop orientations, “collect”
samples… etc., and then use that data back in classroom for making/interpreting
geologic maps… not sure whether this will even work at this point.
Any suggestions/feedback will be most appreciated. Please

Thanks

is precisely for this that I love geology. It is infinite and
ill-defined: like poetry, it immerses itself in mysteries and floats among them
without drowning. It does not manage to lay bare the unknown, but it
flaps the surrounding veils to and fro, and every so often gleams of light
escape and dazzle one’s vision.”
