    There are various writing styles that are used by students to write their academic papers. The writing styles include MLA, APA, Chicago and oxford. The writing styles differ from each other. American psychological association (APA) is a writing style that is commonly used to cite sources in social sciences. The APA guide provides instructions that students should follow when writing academic papers using APA writing style. An academic paper has various sections. The student is supposed to include all the sections in his or her work. The APA guide shows how students are supposed to format their papers and the bibliography. Student should include various sections in their work as outlined in the APA guide. The academic paper should have the title page, abstract, main body and references. The four sections need to be formatted according to the guidelines given in the APA guide. The title page of any academic paper should include the author's name and the institution. Then, the writer should include a page header. The page header should be placed on the left side of the paper. Also, the writer should include the page numbers. The page numbers should be flushed right. The page header should include the title of the paper and flushed left. This is according to the guidelines given in the APA guide. The title of the paper should be written in both upper and low case letter. The APA guide discourages students from writing the title using Upper case. The title should be placed at the center of the paper.

    Oxford referencing style is a style that makes use of footnotes and bibliography. Moreover, it is essential for a writer to make a reference list and endnotes. Oxford writing style guidelines are the most comprehensive guidelines compared to other guidelines for other writing styles. Oxford writing style has rules which must be followed when referencing or citing sources of information. There are several rules of referencing employed in the Oxford writing style guidelines. This paper will examine some of the rules that govern Oxford writing style. Oxford writing style makes use of footnotes, in-line citations, annotated bibliographic appendices and endnotes. For this reason, Oxford writing style is also known as documentary-note writing style or referencing style. Oxford writing style is mostly used when writing papers in the fields of philosophy and history but can also be used in other academic fields.

    Documentation and formatting is an important part of best academic writing. Numerous styles of formatting and documenting papers are in existence today. A good example is the Chicago style guide. Chicago style guide was developed in 1906 by the University of Chicago. It is mainly used in writing book publications but some times this style is also applied in writing academic papers such as essays, terms papers, research papers, thesis and dissertations. There are several features that distinguish Chicago style guide papers from other papers written using other writing styles. One of these features in the method of documenting sources. The Chicago manual guide allows the use of two methods of documenting sources. The first is the note/ bibliography system. The note/ bibliography system involves citing sources inside texts by use markers. The Chicago style guide defines markers as hypertext or raised numbers that are placed at the end of the sentence that contain ideas from the sources. Whenever, an idea from an external source is mentioned in the sentence a raised Arabic number is placed at the end of the sentence. The numbers are sequentially placed through out the papers.

  • Virtual Worlds? “Outlook Good”
  • Virtual Worlds? “Outlook Good” AJ Kelton (“AJ Brooks”) Whether it is Second Life or another virtual world, this foundational movement is not going away. The question to be addressed in the coming months and years is how higher education and, subsequently, individual institutions will determine the best way to continue to move forward with virtual worlds.
  • Higher Education as Virtual Conversation Sarah Robbins-Bell (“Intellagirl Tully”) Virtual worlds can become an important tool in an educator’s arsenal. But using this tool requires a shift in thinking and an adjustment in pedagogical methods that will embrace the community, the fluid identity, and the participation—indeed, the increased conversation—that virtual spaces can provide.

  • Educational Frontiers: Learning in a Virtual World Cynthia M. Calongne (“Lyr Lobo”) The use of virtual worlds expands on the campus-based and online classrooms, enhancing learning experiences. Classes in virtual worlds offer opportunities for visualization, simulation, enhanced social networks, and shared learning experiences.
  • Looking to the Future: Higher Education in the Metaverse Chris Collins (“Fleep Tuque”) Beyond the capabilities that virtual worlds offer us at the moment, it is the possibilities that we can imagine for the future that may be the most compelling. Virtual worlds technology, like the Internet in general, is changing the way we access and experience information and the way we can access and connect with each other.
  • Drawing a Roadmap: Barriers and Challenges to Designing the Ideal Virtual World for Higher Education Chris Johnson (“ScubaChris Wollongong”) When using a roadmap, one can take many different paths to reach a desired destination. Similarly, institutions can take many different turns along the road to implementing an ideal virtual world for higher education.

Second Life university education Canadian review

shared by Eloise Pasteur on 22 Dec 08 - Cached
  • “I thought, ‘Gosh, this is amazing! You can teach classes in it’,” he recalls. The first time he taught a course registered in Second Life, Professor Washburn, a.k.a. Duncan Innis, led a 15-week, one-hour lecture to 25 students in the island’s amphitheatre.
  • There is no audio, just words flashing on screen like an MSN chat session. The discussion veers from “fluff journalism” to magazine branding. Nobody raises their hand to voice an opinion; an avatar makes a typing motion in the air if it wants to comment. Professor Washburn and his students often interrupt each other, since you can type whenever you want.
  • The learning curve that comes with Second Life is a drawback mentioned by all professors, online communications personnel and students, and this is one factor that makes some universities reluctant to use the program. Jason Toal, who works at SFU as an experience designer, spearheads most of the university’s projects in Second Life. “If you’re going to use Second Life for your course, you need to spend at least the first couple of classes teaching your students how to use it,” he says. “You have to walk them through what it’s all about, how to hook it on your computer.”

  • In an instant messaging conversation during Robert Washburn’s journalism lecture at Loyalist, Urqhart, whose real name is Tyson Jewell, reveals his frustrations with Second Life. He says the heavy computer requirements can be a hassle for students who can’t afford sophisticated video cards or a faster Internet connection. Because of this, some students have to come to school anyway to use a computer inside a lab or a library to attend their Second Life classes. There are various other technical problems, such as the glitch in the program that caused Mr. Jewell’s classmate to be locked out of his account. And, ironically, Second Life battles against the one thing that has propelled its popularity: the rapid advances in technology.
  • Finally, everyone who was interviewed for this article agrees that virtual worlds like Second Life won’t completely overtake normal classroom settings. However, they do believe that three-dimensional online classes and assignments will become a staple in Canadian education – and that’s for real.

  • Linden Lab only allows adults in the Teen Second Life who have had a background check completed, and who are either educators responsible for an education project in the Teen Second Life, developers assisting in the development of projects in the Teen Second Life, or the person responsible for managing activities on business islands in the Teen Second Life.
  • Yes, you can use the RegAPI, create your island, and bring teens onto this island through your own website. You can form groups that include teens and IM and exchange objects with teens who come in through your RegAPI. However, in this case, the Teens will NOT be able to leave your island and visit other spaces, including the Teen Second Life "mainland" (Teen Second Life). In this "closed island" model, you can form groups, IM your teens, and exchange objects with them; but all these activities are limited to your island. If teens want to participate in Teen Second Life, they'll have to create a separate account (teen.secondlife.com).
  • At this time, we do allow businesses to purchase islands in Teen Second Life and create educational content with which the Teen Second Life members can interact. We do restrict the ability of Teens to communicate with Adults, and we do not allow any selling or other commercial activity. You cannot sell in the Teen Second Life, and you can't exchange L$ with teens. If your island is not a "closed island" you cannot exchange items with Teens.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The estate must be purchased by the final owner of the estate, not by a developer - because of permissions and other issues, an estate cannot be transferred in the Teen Second Life. In addition, if you are building for an educational or non-profit organization, if a developer buys it, they'll be billed the full rate rather than the education rate.
  • Linden Lab does not do content creation. We recommend you use a developer listed in the Teen Second Life Directory who has prior experience creating projects in the Teen Second Life.
  • You can request one online at ascertainsi.com. Or, contact : Ascertain Screening and Investigations, LLC 110 North High Street, Suite 201 Gahanna, Ohio 43230 614.858.0100 Dee Igo -- [Digo@Ascertainsi.com] There is a fee, which must be paid by the developer. It's about $40 in the US and $70 outside the US (fees subject to change).
  • If your instructors are members of bona-fide educational institutions, they've already been background checked by the institution, and we can substitute verification from the institution for background checks by our agency. Otherwise, each instructor needs a background check.
  • Linden Lab automatically will list any Developer who is already in the Directory; if you are not already in the Directory, you need to submit a Directory entry. Teens may submit a Teen Second Life Directory listing at any time.

  • Nearly 30% of survey respondents (19 of 66) said their organization recouped their investment in immersive technologies in less than nine months, once their project(s) launched.
  • The top motivations for investment in immersive technology in 2008 /1Q 2009 were enabling people in disparate locations to spend time together, increased innovation, and cost savings or avoidance.
  • Early implementers are choosing the simplest use cases first. The most common were learning and training (80%, or 53 of 66 respondents focused on this use case) and meetings (76%, or 50 of 66 respondents). Some intend to take on more complex use cases in 2010 or 2011.

  • Immersive technology won out over a variety of alternatives primarily due to low cost and the increased engagement it delivers. The leading alternatives were Web conferencing and in-person meetings, followed by phone calls.
  • Work-related use of the Immersive Internet is in the early adopter phase. Before it can pass into the early majority phase, practitioners and the technology vendors who serve them must “cross the chasm.” The most common barriers to adoption are target users having inadequate hardware, corporate security restrictions, and getting users interested in the technology.
