Higher Education at the Hacienda: Helicopters, Hot Tubs and Poison Candy

From students landing helicopters on the lawn during class; teaching from my hot tub and giving my students poison candy (Virtual! LOL!) for Day of the Dead, it has been quite a semester at the Hacienda!

Just a quick pre-Christmas note as I put the first semester in the Hacienda to bed for a little while. Overall, we had an awesome semester. Forty-eight students spent every Friday class in SL, completing assignments in culture and language that I designed to coordinate with our textbook, Mosaicos. I am conducting a study (IRB approved) that includes evaluating all of the assignments of the participants and the results of a confidential survey we conducted. More on that later. . . From anecdotal evidence, student satisfaction has been really high. My class meets at 8:30 am next semester and has been filled for weeks!

Feliz Navidad!

Congrats!

I'm glad to hear things went so well for a first semester into this! It will be great to see some of the results from your assessments, and your observations on whey students were so satisfied.
