Opening the Instructions Canister• Each Team’s

Instructions Canister contained an Instructions Notecard

• We wanted to capitalize on the ‘adventure’ feeling of this experience by having this somewhat mysterious item for them to open

The four teams building their bridges

Page 11: Train for Success: 3Dteaming in SL!

A completed bridge• Goal: walk from

the land to the platform without falling in the water (or flying ; )

• Note that this

team decided to put posts in place to support the bridge

• Posts necessary? Debrief on innovation…

Potential for application

−Communication Clear communication becomes essential and requires

more attention−Team chartering

Clarity around team mission, organization, roles and process are equally important

−Trust This environment has the potential to provide shared

experience for participants that can build trust before they arrive at a face-to-face event

−Technology Ability to use technology is lowest common denominator

−Innovation and problem solving Pushing and manifesting innovative thinking can be

visually evident in this space

What are the challenges going forward? What skills and roles are required?

− For academics, coaches, program managers, and of

course the participants?

− How do we get over the “digital immigrant” hurdle? What does content look like? 

− Creation in real world for in-world? Or in-world for real

world?

− Created by program or participants? Or co-created?

− How do we escape our real world thinking? How is the process best facilitated?

− Embedding a 3D internet experience in the flow of the

learning program?

− How do we ensure seamlessness?
