The SWIFT project acknowledges the growing need for new approaches to effective laboratory-based learning, where issues of space, time and resources lead to pedagogical limitations in the use of practical classes involving student engagement in pre-designed experiments. It addresses these limitations by developing laboratory activities in Second Life, researching their impact on teaching and learning in biomedical sciences, and thereby providing exemplars for transfer to other sciences.

    SWIFT Part 2 - Experimenting in the Virtual Genetics Laboratory

    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.

    Second Life Guide for Moderators

    This Second Life training guide has been split into three parts. Part 1 takes you through your first steps in achieving a Second Life by setting up your account and creating your avatar (your virtual persona in Second Life). Part 2 reminds you of the basic skills you require to operate in Second Life and enjoy the experience. Part 3 is about taking part in or directing groups for learning in Second Life.
