1. Don't Log In to SL to Demonstrate
(instead show a screen capture video)
2. Highlight the "Scholarly" SL Regions
(rather than focusing on the social aspects)
3. Provide an Outline of the Purpose of Your Project, Planned Activities and How You Plan to Assess Students
(rubric perhaps)
4. Compare and Contrast SL vs. RL
(point out the things you can do in SL that are difficult to accomplish in RL)
5. Don't Play in SL
(have fun, but back up your request with info on student engagement, online course retention stats, reports on learning in virtual environments, etc.)
