Virtual Worlds for Education: Exploring Digital Legacy in Wolf Territories & More

#opensim #digitalegacy #vwmooc25 #professionaldevelpment #virtualworlds Valerie Hill / Valibrarian Gregg and ACRL Interest Group presents Wolf Territories Digital Legacy Gridhop "Wolf Territories Digital Legacy," is a virtual session exploring the concept of digital legacy and the educational potential of the OpenSim platform. The session is hosted by Dr. Valerie Hill and features a tour of "Wolf Territories," a virtual world, led by instructional designer Xenon Darrow. The discussion begins with the topic of "digital legacy," considering what happens to a person's digital creations and assets after they pass away. This is explored within a virtual memorial garden, where tributes to both real and virtual individuals are displayed. The session then showcases the educational possibilities of virtual worlds with tours of different regions within Wolf Territories. These include a recreation of Iceland, complete with a virtual music hall and a historical sheep farm, and a science fiction-themed region called "Europa," which features a virtual university. Throughout the video, the presenters highlight the collaborative and supportive nature of the OpenSim community, offering resources and assistance for new users interested in exploring these virtual environments for educational purposes.
