Occupational Therapy Center in Second Life

Inspiration

I heard about Second Life at a Drexel eConference in March 2007 and knew that I wanted to create a place to showcase the important work of occupational therapy

How it works

Exhibits including an adapted playground and adapted home

Challenges I ran into

Developing a viable strategy for producing exhibits with a team of graduate students

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Implementing a project-based learning approach and presenting about this with graduate students at the American Occupational Therapy Association Annual Conference in 2011 Co-wrote an evaluation of the project and published in the Journal of Virtual Worlds Research

What I learned

Project based learning is a great fit for exhibit development and for providing venues to discuss health and wellness

What's next for Occupational Therapy Center in Second Life

Open to new possibilities...
