Science Learning Opportunities in Second Life

The School of Dentistry and Health Sciences Libraries at the University of Michigan have partnered to create a video which features opportunities for Science learning and research within Second Life. This instructive three minute film spotlights such destinations as Genome Island, ISTE Island, ARC Research Center, and the New Media Consortium’s Research Park.

Watch the video to learn where you can find real-time weather data displayed on a 3D map, interact with cholesterol molecules, enter a giant cell and interact with it, conduct genetic experiments, take part in clinical simulations, and participate in a real-time conference with other learners.

Read about their experiences making the video in their blog post here.
