Last Thursday I was invited to the 2nd Forum Managerial organized by STOA 'within the project cek-lab
E 'was an opportunity to confront the issue of corporate training and to highlight the fact that companies have specific training needs, quite different from those of other realities.
why I decided to devote a few posts at this topic: some advice for companies wishing to experience Second Life for training .
A NOTE TO BEGIN
Second Life is a new tool of communication. If we think of how many years were needed because the radio, television or internet to find models employed to communicate, it becomes easy to see why Second Life still is hard to propose methods and tools to deliver training.
For the same reason it is even more difficult to differentiate the training when it is open to different realities in schools, universities or companies, each with different characteristics and requirements.
For this I would like to provide some suggestions for companies who want to experience Second Life for training their employees. An adventure that can give outstanding results when it is managed in a consistent and conscious, but may hold unpleasant disappointment when faced with lightness and superficiality.
1) Facilitate access to employees are still
many people who have difficulty using the computer, either for work or play.
When you decide to use Second Life for business reasons I recommend to facilitate the first approach of your employees by helping them with the metaverse in the early steps: the creation of the client's account el'istallazione.
Since not all find themselves alone stimulus to learn new things, it has the same need as soon as you enter the metaverse: rather than leaving each to himself, rely on some experts to help you to learn in a playful manner and funny how to take advantage of the many features offered by Second Life.
And do not be surprised if after a few minutes to become important not only to acquire technical knowledge (such as walking, such as picture, etc..) but also meet the requirements that at first glance may seem superfluous, as to have a better looking avatar, or know how to find interesting sites.
To better address this first phase you can try one of Imparafacile Welcome Area, where you can find clear instructions and resources to help you enjoy the immediate experience of Second Life, or you can follow one of the many courses that are constantly for new arrived
2) Living for a few weeks the metaverse
Joining Second Life is like suddenly being catapulted into a huge strange city and you do not speak the language, the characteristics and habits.
But the ease with which they are familiar with people and places and events of interest should not be fooled. Only with time will learn rules of behavior that are not coded, but are linked to the medium that you are using.
Even if you get in Second Life for business, spend a few weeks exploring the metaverse. Be curious, go to land and get to know people.
only way you can try out some features that are fundamental in the design of a didactic, such as:
> the immersion, that is the feeling of not being in front of a computer, but to be the place where you will find your avatar
> the feeling of presence of other people within Second Life share with you the same place
> the emotional bandwidth, which is the emotion that one feels living situations different: the happiness of a meeting, the pleasure of a concert, the involvement of a debate.
--------------------
In the coming days I will concentrate more specifically didactic aspects. HELLO
