On Wednesday May 5th, my Doctor of Nursing Practice Systems Change Project was launched. The study involves 15 - first year Masters of Nursing Education students at St. Catherine University. They were randomly assigned one of a group of diverse avatars that were made and adapted for this project. The students will evaluate the use of this new pedagogy, as well as journal about how they were treated when visiting some of the social sites in the virtual world of Second Life. I have loaded the pictures of the avatars, and will put up the bios later. Each student was provided with a picture and a biography of the individual, and were told to go out in Second Life as the assigned avatar (person). Watch for updates.
