Advising

**Advising Space in Second Life**
Project Lead:

Project Description:

Hi Jennifer: I'll like to help with this area too. It's part of my job description (online student services manager) and I'd like to see the evolution of Advising in Second Life. Maybe I'll go out and look at some other advising set-ups that other colleges have and report back. KA

1-25-08 Did a search under "Advising," Academic Advising," "College Advising." Came up with zero. Closest things that I found were a few orientation areas primarily for SL. KA

Advising Appointment in Second Life
I try my best to be available to my student advisees. I do the office hours thing, share email and phone #s and give them my IM name. Also, I have a blog and Facebook site specifically for Advising. Today, however, was different -- and could hint at things to come. I met a student in my office in the Cybrary City in Second Life for a few minutes of chat about the course he's taking with me and about his library job. And it was the student, [|Kyle Jones], who suggested it.
