  1. Our campus in Francisco López Hernández @PacoLopezH

  2. I feel as…

  3. I’m a librarian, not a professor • Our goal is humbler • Our results are very humble, too

  4. Our models were libraries in SL: • Info Island • Information Archipelago

  5. A good way to display and access information • Visibility • Possibility of cooperation with fellow librarians

  6. An island in SL from January 2008 • Campus available in June 2008 • More than 4.400 visits since then

  8. Activities • Meetings. • Reader’s club.

  9. Training courses for blended learning degrees • Only one, and only with one student…

  10. Some ideas collected here • Second Life is out of the Immersive Education Initiative. • Technical requirements. • If socialization is not a goal, we’d better to use other tools.

  11. Some ideas collected here • Don’t use it only for upload contents • If it’s empty, is boring. • Ahhhhg!

  13. Answers • Many given here. • Students don’t know we’ve got this tool. • Some professors did, but their framework is different. • And other professors…

  14. Opportunities • We don’t try to change educational paradigms, only to help… • Blended learning: Isolation leads to dropout. • Library training courses for blended learning degrees. • Information Literacy.
