- Education
The SWIFT project at the University of Leicester (Second World Immersive Future Teaching) has created a virtual genetics lab within the three-dimensional, virtual world of Second Life, to help students studying genetics and biological science. Phase two of SWIFT uses this virtual lab to help first year medical students learn the process of genetic testing. In this video, Dr Paul Rudman describes the virtual lab, its purpose, features and effectiveness, while Dr Suzanne Lavelle demonstrates the physical lab alternative.
