Forum Posts

Good forum posts are like good blog posts:

—Engaged, always focused on story, with emotional content

—Considered, responding to something (not preaching)

—Qualified, drawing on information outside of your head

Q: How would recognize these qualities in your work world?


In-World Presentation

Good presentations tell a STORY, too:

—Engaged, always focused on story, with emotional content

—Considered, showing you've thought about your material

—Qualified, building on accurate objective information

Good presentations don't just recount facts (no matter how

attractively told: beware, self/marketing experts).


Important: Confidentiality

Good stories are authentic, too.

There can be no authenticity without openness.

There can be no openness without confidentiality and trust.

— All information shared either in-world (Second Life)

or via Moodle (password-protected) will remain confidential

to course participants only. What you say here, stays here!

At the same time: always exercise caution with real

information — as a rule, don't use anybody‘s real names

The Virtual HWR in Second Life® is divided in different learning spaces —watch http://bit.ly/HWRvideoE for details


Teaching Tools – Orientation

Orientation: treasure cave, school balloon on-site; guided tour to off-site locations offering interactive experiences

Train your avatar by visiting these places and if you haven't done it yet, schedule training with our tutor Johannes.

Fountain: camera control training & fun

Cave: movement training & fun


Teaching Tools – Groupwork

Group work: tables; SL group for voice/chat; shared media walls for collaboration (GDocs, Etherpad).

Viewer: instructions

Media: YouTube & Twitter wall

Group tables

Shared media collaboration

We'll try to keep it simple throughout. Don't hesitate to ask questions. And don't be alarmed: after a couple of sessions, you'll feel really at home in your new avatar.


Teaching Tools - Auditorium

Auditorium: media wall, viewers for lectures; a stage for role playing; a Google Calendar for in-world events.

The in-world sessions will sometimes begin with a short lecture. Please be on time & save your chats locally. In this space, we will perform role-plays and you will present on your internship experiences to the whole group.

Shared online Calendar

Stage for Role playing


Teaching Tools - Feedback

Feedback offline and online via the Opinionator using prepared and improvised questions & discussion topics

Whenever there's time we'll close the session with a short survey where your avatars can vote with their feet.

You simply walk into the Opinionator and the distribution of votes is shown in the center of the object.


Don't miss the movie!


Rules of Engagement

1. Please choose for your in-world talk and put your name in the Moodle-Wiki table. Do not remove any data. Putting your name here counts as a commitment. If you can attend (or present during) the lunchtime session, do it.

2. Once you've got a date, get to work: create a presentation, upload it on GoogleDocs or Slideshare. Send me the link ([email protected]) beforehand (in time). If you're unsure about technology (uploading, presenting etc) contact Sophia ([email protected]).

3. After the session, put a copy of your presentation and any other observations from the session and your role-play into Moodle and add a copy of the presentation, too.

4. At the end of term, print presentation & GDocs file, add a signed cover sheet and send all of it to me at the HWR.


Good Presentations

A good presentation tells a STORY:

!   it is engaged and contains emotional content,

!   it shows that you've thought about your material

!   it tells about events and doesn't just recount facts

Get the facts out of the way quickly. Slides should include:

! Where is your internship (company, country) and what do you do

!   Briefly describe a situation either past or future for a role-play.

You've got max. 15 minutes for the presentation (afterwards: roleplay).

Please rehearse your presentation.


Preparing a Role-Play

Your ROLE-PLAY will built on:

—a situation or scene (sketched by you in your presentation) which involves you as one of the participants (as well as any number of other people)

—a goal (something you want/ed to achieve in this scene)

We will ask volunteers in the session to play the parts indicated by you; we will set the situation up as a role-play of at most 5 minutes, and then we'll briefly discuss the results using this process:

!   What did the audience think or feel or observe during the role-play?

!   What did the actors think or feel or observe during the role-play?

!   What did the client think or feel or observe during the role-play?


Next steps

— Post your first answers to our weekly question!

— Schedule your presentation and role play session!

— We need a few volunteers to kick us off next week!

— Consider to switch to the lunch-time course (12 pm)
