"CAPE Learning Spaces"

Now Open in Second Life

Thousands of instructors at hundreds of universities are using Second Life to explore a next-generation immersive distance learning environment.  Why have Harvard Law, RIT, San Francisco State, UT Austin and Vassar all begun to hold classes on virtual campuses in Second Life?

To help our postsecondary members explore this new learning domain, CAPE has opened a virtual teaching and learning center in Second Life this Fall.  "CAPE Learning Spaces" is a place to hold online, participatory workshops and for member faculty to see how they may use Second Life with their students.

If you are unfamiliar with Second Life, please view the two-minute promotional video from the virtual campus of Ohio University.

We invite all our postsecondary members to come and be part of this exciting opportunity!  Additional details will be posted periodically on this website so check back often.

Message from CAPE's Executive Director,

Welcome!

At Wilkes University, we see CAPE as our "skunk works" - an informal research and development operation to generate and test new ideas. The opportunities CAPE has provided to Wilkes to test new ideas, to try new software applications and to keep abreast of the latest developments in information technology have been invaluable and certainly something we could not duplicate for ourselves.

- Dr. Joseph Gilmour, President
