THE ERASMUS OFFICE IN SECOND LIFE

Hello everyone! I visited the Erasmus Island in Second Life, and this is my selfie. The island was created by Asst. Prof. Tuncer CAN and others. 

The island offers lots of useful information about the Erasmus programme, Istanbul University and Istanbul city. A student who is going to do Erasmus in Istanbul University can visit the island by creating an avatar, which is a very useful thing to do. Named as "Before", "During" and "After", three buildings are situated on the island. An Erasmus student can enter these buildings and check what he/she may or have to do in the school and in Istanbul, or how to do something in the school/city. 

Let’s have a look at my views about the game. Second Life is like the game "Sims". Choosing relatively many options, you can customize your avatar. Moreover, you can create your avatar by using 3D graphics. Also, it is possible to chat and talk in the game, so it can be said that it has an interactional concept.
Since Second Life and other similar platforms are independent of time/space and offer interactional concepts and creativity, they are extremely useful in the educational context. Furthermore, they can bring equality in classrooms and between students around the world by removing inadequacy in classroom environments.
