3D virtual world campus spaces (like the Tulane SCS Metaverse) enlarge the number of educational (and career enhancement) activities possible in online courses. More specifically, a virtual world campus supports:
- Instructor-student meetings;
- Instructor-student discussion periods;
- Student group assignment meetings;
- Guest lectures;
- Guest interviews;
- Student focus group meetings;
- Actual/simulated professional conferences and/or fairs;
- Student productions (for example, student created events, exhibits, coursework portfolios, etc.);
- Student experimentation (for example, behavioral economics experiments can be staged using non player characters or NPCs); and
- More!
