TSTC in Second Life

Many of you know that TSTC has had a presence in Second Life for a couple of years. We have some extremely talented builders and designers who have created virtual islands that we are now referring to as vTSTC. The Second Life project has now evolved into something extraordinary!

TSTC sent out a national press release today officially unveiling a Digital Media Certificate offered primarily in Second Life! By Spring semester, the entire two-year Associate Degree will be offered in this format. We are THE FIRST COLLEGE to do this!

So what does this exciting news mean for you? Well, I know some of you are just like me and you'd love to learn Photoshop and the digital media applications but when you have children, or live far away, it really isn't convenient to go to college. What if you could learn all of this cool stuff...from home? Geography is no longer an issue! And what if your learning environment was so engaging (nothing compared to traditional online classes) that you actually enjoyed class?

If you have no clue what I'm talking about but want to know more, you can visit Second Life. Basically, it's the way that the Internet was meant to be but instead we ended up with a two-dimensional, very flat environment comprised of pictures and information. Second Life, a three-dimensional virtual world, allows users to explore, learn, collaborate and meet people from all over the world. Of course I'm here to answer any questions you may have as well. Here's a picture of my avatar (Debra Bekkers) in Second Life:

I'm a neko (cat) here...imagine that!
