WHAT?
If you are interested in using Second Life, or other Virtual World technologies for learning purposes, Dr. Tony O’Driscoll's 10-minute presentation will give you an excellent crash course discussing the “Seven Sensibilities of Learning in a Virtual World,” which are:

1. The Sense of Self
2. The Death of Distance
3. The Power of Presence
4. The Sense of Space
5. The Capability to Co-Create
6. The Pervasiveness of Practice
7. The Enrichment of Experience

According to Dr. Tony, these seven sensibilities will bring new FREEDOMS to our learning (please view the graphic and watch the video!) .

Sometimes we have no choice (e.g. distance), but sometimes we do. Think... :)
