UT System Buys Land in Second Life
On August 25, 2009, pioneering representatives from all 16 University of Texas System campuses convened in Austin, Texas to lay the foundation for the Virtual Learning Community Initiative (VLCI). Funded by the UT System Transforming Undergraduate Education grant, this spearheading project is extending operations of each of the 16 UT campuses into the online virtual world of Second Life. Leslie Jarmon, Ph.D., the Primary Investigator for the statewide proposal, is a Faculty Development Specialist and Senior Lecturer in the Division of Instructional Innovation & Assessment (CIE/DIIA) at the University of Texas at Austin. UTPA and COLTT are participating in this project with the goal to enhance teaching and learning at this institution.
