Card covers in very good, clean condition. Internally, all pages clean and bright, looks hardly used. Unfortunately, the book has received some kind of impact down the middle of the fore edge of the book, a mild thumb end sized crease runs through the first 80 pages of the book, just at the middle edge of the pages, at their margin. Its not that unsightly, but its there! Seller image provided. For further helpful synopsis and reviews try clicking on 'Seller Image'. Selling books since 1999, all proceeds help fund LOROS Charity Hospice.

A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

In recent years there has been increasing use of virtual worlds in Higher Education, particularly in Second Life. This practical handbook is a pedagogically-informed text that guides staff in the use of Second Life in the fields of further and higher education.

The book has been designed to support teachers who want to use Second Life and provides both an overview and a detailed consideration of the opportunities this immersive world offers for teaching, learning, assessment and research.

To assist readers, Maggi Savin-Baden has included:

A glossary of terms
Details of challenges and mistakes to avoid
Examples of good practice
Links to websites and other sources of help

This book is designed both for those new to Second Life as well as those with experience of teaching in virtual environments. It will help teachers to progress from getting started with Second Life to developing their teaching within the environment.

Description de la librairie

LOROS Bookshop opened in the autumn of 1999, one of some 30 or so shops now, within Leicestershire and Rutland, all providing vital income for our wonderful Hospice, which gives much needed palliative care to our patients. We cater to book lovers of all ages and interests: locals, students, children, teachers, collectors, dealers. Our shop offers a wide variety of used books. The collection is being constantly updated with book donations given daily by our kind and appreciative supporters. The shop is carefully organised by subject area, and a subject finder and a diagram of the shop layout are provided to direct customers to the specific categories that are of interest to them. The shop is broadly zoned into five main categories, subdivided into the usual sub-categories: Collectables, Leisure Interest (Cookery, Gardening, Military History, Local History, Travel etc.,) Fiction (General, Literary, Crime/ Thriller, Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror) Academic (History, Humanities, Medical, Business, Sciences, Poetry, Classics etc.,) and Childrens. We have a bookcase of Graphic Novels ranging from �1 to more collectable editions. At the back of the shop is a small but unique and wonderful Children's 'Garden' bookroom, it is astro-turfed, with tree shaped bookshelves, and toadstool seats, holding a decent selection of modern and classic children's paperbacks, for young readers and teens, and reference books, covering all ages. Queens Road is situated just across the park from Leicester University, and has a pleasant alternative vibe, along with the usual mainstream outlets. Well worth a visit, for two other bookshops, a number of cool bars and cafes, computor repair and cake shops. We are conveniently flanked by a post office and Sainsbury's, and there are opticians, health shops, a jewellers, a pet supply shop and two chemists. LOROS also have an amazing and very popular Media Shop, 'Spiral Scratch', at number 63, for vinyl, cd, dvd, second hand hi-fi separates and musical instruments: guitars, keyboards, flutes, drums, as and when available. There is limited one hour parking on our side of the street and a few side roads with some restricted parking hours. Alternatively, why take a 20 minute stroll up pretty, historical New Walk, from the town centre, calling in at the fascinating New Walk Museum, or catch a 44 Arriva Bus from town or from the railway station on London Road, and be here in a matter of minutes!
