| We are creating a presence for the Management
School in Second
LIfe as part of the Virtual University of Edinburgh island
(Vue) in Second Life.
The development of this Virtual Business School is being led
by S Bing
who was helped by Dr
Akiko Hemmi.
It is hoped that the use of a virtual world in management
education may provide a valuable forum where people can share
their expertise about both practical management and the management
courses taught in the University. It is seen as being of particular
potential benefit to students who, because they are on exchange
away from Edinburgh or taking part-time courses, are at risk
of losing contact with the University community.
The Virtual Business School will be a building in which staff,
students, potential students, past students and anyone interested
in the work of the School can discuss the activities of the
school and its programmes. Rooms are being created in which
people can interact informally or where virtual classes and
tutorials can be held for particular courses.
