Second Life - Education







Second Life is a virtual world that can also be used for educational purposes too. It gives us an opportunity to join interactive classes and visit international education related centers such as erasmus office, where you are able to gain information really quickly about it and the things it provides for you. With the interactive, online classes, you are able to join them from anywhere in the world and all you need is access to internet. It has also been shown that in these classes as students are less anxious they are more willing to participate in the class since it's only a virtual world, even though technically it is representing everyone from the real world.

Duolingo

Duolingo is another popular language learning app and it is the most downloaded one in the world so far. It offers 85 different courses in 24 languages. Gamification is poured into each lesson; your hearts keep your lesson alive and when you answer incorrectly, you lose a heart. If you run out of hearts, you simply just start over again. There's a streak count to motivate you to stay on track by displaying the number of days you spent learning a language in a row. It has in-lesson grading so you can immediately see if your answers are correct or not. Each lesson includes a variety of skills such as speaking, listening and translation etc. with multiple choice challenges. Additionally, it can be easily used in schools as thousands of teachers are already using it for their students' development.
