the one hundred and eighty-seventh episode of ventriloquy introduces Maggi Savin-Baden's A Practical Guide to Using Second Life in Higher Education .
in 224 concise pages, Dr Savin-Baden successfully takes the reader through an introduction to the affordances of Second Life for learning, through to a discussion on how to conceptualise assessment in Second Life, and ends with some considerations of Design-Based Research and ethnographic study. Along the way, the journey is liberally sprinkled with practical tips and informed anecdotes about the more mundane outworkings of day-to-day lived practice in-world.
