M3 - MUVEs, Moodle and Microblogging ::   Blog | Network | | Aggregator | Profile | Page

Outline Project Description
M3 will explore the potential of Moodle, Microblogging (Twitter) and Second Life with 3 student groups, and compare integrated use of these tools and environments in 3 individual learning contexts. The first 2 groups will be aimed at language learning communities; one involving primarily face-to-face interaction, and the other learning at a distance online. The final group will be recruited from interested parties from Second Life and/or JISC communities. A particular focus of student learning will be on the development of intercultural skills.

A Twitter plug-in (microblogging tool) will be one key deliverable of the project.
