Southern Cross University
Top Dingo started working with the Southern Cross University a little over a year ago now to create their first Region in Second Life. As well as giving some insight into the University and providing an online meeting place, the primary intention of this initial build was to create an entry-point into SL for the staff and students of SCU that was comfortable and familiar.
As interest grows from within SCU in the educational uses for SL, the need has grown for a second Region to be created. The primary focus of this second region will be to create scenarios which can be incorporated into classrooms and have a beneficial impact to the way students learn. The design and content of the region will be guided by a collaborative team headed by Associate Professor Allan Ellis.
