i-Learning Workshops

Immersive Learning for the Classroom or Workplace

As specialists in immersive learning, we believe that the training environment is a fundamental part of learning and knowledge retention. Just as classroom space that was properly configured for instruction helped students learn in the 20th century, virtual training facilities are providing today’s trainees with opportunities to advance their learning potential.

Our unique niche is to help businesses, instructors and meeting leaders learn to use Second Life for training, instruction and business meetings. Through our association with Beta Business Park in Second Life, where i-Learning Workshops has beautiful training facilities, we help clients to acquire the basic tools for meeting or conducting training in Second Life (SL).

Why SL is Catching On for Training.

Capturing the best features of Internet-based training and classroom training, instruction that immerses students in a virtual setting allows them to interact quite naturally with their instructors and other students, without the time and space barriers of distance learning. Training in SL incurs no productivity drain because trainees do not have to leave their desks for instruction.

Our conference center is perfect for private, secure business meetings and classes. Beta Business Park is staffed and equipped to handle anywhere from four to eighty people!

Why SL is Catching On for Meetings.

In a virtual environment, meetings offer the networking opportunities and learning potential of face-to-face meetings that draw people from around the globe. Yet costs associated with travel are nonexistent, while time out of the office is a non-factor. In the private sector [link to IBM case study] and in government, the cost-saving and brand-building benefits of meeting virtually are gaining converts.

i-Learning’s Facilities at Beta Business Park

We invite you to take a virtual tour of our purpose-designed meeting environment in SL. Classroom and conference facilities are modular and inviting for small gatherings (under 15) or larger conferences that include lectures, networking, new product intros and other elements. Smaller groups of trainees (avatars) can attend classroom instruction in our space in Second Life, then move outdoors for conversation and a bit of relaxing downtime. All i-Learning’s facilities are available for meetings of various lengths.

Beta Business Park’s private orientation island is close by i-Learning’s facilities, offering “staff” to help show attendees how to walk, sit and fly in SL.
