MoreSteam University® on Second Life®
A Virtual Training World
MoreSteam University is available in 3-D with MoreSteam.com's virtual campus in Second Life.
The virtual campus features a 3-D learning lab that allows teams to meet within the 3-D world of Second Life to conduct live virtual experiments using 3-D objects and simulated processes.
Similar to popular first-person 3-D computer games such as the Sims® or World of Warcraft®, team members can attend MoreSteam's virtual campus by creating an "Avatar" in Second Life to represent their physical presence. Second Life is a free game, and after a mandatory orientation, Second Life users are able to visit a multitude of sites, including MoreSteam's virtual campus.
Learning Design of Experiments (DOE) with The Avapult™
The MoreSteam campus learning lab incorporates an Avapult - a catapult used to hurl a designated team member at a sticky wall target while attempting to avoid a group of serious hazards.
The island contains an amphitheater with a presentation that explains how to use the Avapult. Click on the image to view a video of the Avapult in action.
The virtual experiment experience was designed as a leading-edge component of advanced Blended Learning models, which integrate e-Learning, online project tracking, classroom workshops, Master Black Belt coaching, and online testing into a comprehensive learning and performance management system.
