In 3D places you can do more than
show slides and talk about them.
You can use 3D places instead of slides.
Your audience can go there to practice
Demonstration of how to adapt a presentation to 3D places. And of how a
Digital Teaching Assistant (DTA) can help. This article is explicitly licensed Public Domain (CC0).
How to move panel
Go there
Learn to move
- Click on the screen
- Move your mouse around, get the red circle leading to where you want to go.
- Press the up-pointing keyboard arrow and see what happens.

Why not just show people a slide of the sign?
- Once you hear lecture about swimming, you never forget what you learned about lectures. Talking is not teaching.
- These skills are perceptual-motor skills. They are learned by practicing the task.
- Giving the instruction in the practice site lets people practice the instructions.
- They get just-In-time instruction.
- If they do not get it right they get immediate feedback.
- Digicoach can support homework in virtual worlds with JIT learning, immediate feedback
- The feedback is not a grade; it is the natural result of incorrect action.
Inworld tools
- Now that you know how to move around, find the panel names "In-World Menu Tools."
- Yes, this is a teaching presentation.
- Digicoach can support homework in virtual worlds with JIT learning, immediate feedback
Inworld tools
- Click the 3-bar button bottom left to access these buttons.
- Click a button to activate it.
Learning objectives, inworld tools panel
- Be able:
- to use the red focus circle to activate interactive objects.
- to find the teleport directory (don't teleport yet)

- Be sure to turn off your mic elsewhere before you turn on your mIc here.
Voice panel

Tutorials panel
Learning objectives, tutorial panel
- Be able:
- to find and go to this panel (movement skills practice).
- to watch a selected tutorial (object-activation skills practice.
Teleport
- There are other places for you to visit. You need to know how to find them.
- And how to teleport there.
- It is as easy as going to a new slide. But you have to do it yourself.
- JIT learning again.
Teleport destination
- Find community classroom A.
- This location is under the general category of education.
Learning objectives, teleport destination
- Be able to use the teleport directory to go to a specified location.
Where is the DTA?
- This script is Digital Teaching Assistant (DTA)
- In implementation, it would not be in a blog, but programmed into the scene.
- And it would keep a record of your actions to tell you how you were doing.
- This is for learning to do, not just more practice in listening.
If you must talk, here is another coach
