Summer Course for Teachers: "Developing Games and Simulations with Students in Immersive Environments"

The Simulations and Game Development Immersion (SGDI) Program is a collaborative community effort stewarded by the Computer Information Systems dept. at Lane Community College and The Center for Advanced Technology at The University of Oregon with a mission to embed Lane Community College’s current Simulation and Game Development program entirely within a new online environment loosely defined within the realm of Web 2.0 technologies. In particular, this project will focus on the migration of the Simulation and Game Development program into the 3D virtual environment of Second Life and to OpenSim. The three goals for this project are to:


 * increase the number of students pursuing computer programming degrees
 * expand access to community colleges throughout the country, and
 * attract more women to the STEM discipline of computer sciences, programming, and development.
