Like the web in the early days?

This where design comes in...?

thanks again for the reminder of the levelling Cynthia, this has to be so true. But is it helpful for learning? And can it be promoted by e-moderators?#

Gilly

thanks Cynthia- would you say that the Av to Av can/should be structured for more purposeful learning? If so any idea how?

Hi everyone, many thanks for calling by to contribute to the topic of e-moderating in Second Life.

What I'm hoping we can do together is to identify the key competencies/knowledge/skills (consider those terms as loosely as you like)for SL moderating for educational purposes (my main interests are in higher and professional learning). And if we can get to it, the best ways of offering people development towards them.

not much really! So:

My thoughts :

1. I'd like to use the frameworks of the 5 stage model and e-tivities as short cuts- although they've been developed for text based asynch work, much will transfer, as they have into other environments (pod-tivities, wiki-tivites)

2. There are key skills from f:f and online synch moderating that will be relevant

3. There are issues that are unique to SL, particularly the role of the avatar and the nature of the graphical environment. Maybe others.

I've had a very first shot which is attached but please don't be constrained by it.

Perhaps you would comment on 1,2  and 3 above-(noting which in the title would be so nice ;) ) for starters.

Thank you Gilly
