The college campus represents so much more than an arrangement of land and buildings. As courses continue to move online, how can we support our community beyond the classroom? What aspects of a student's college experience are now missing now that we are all at home? How can we use digital software and accessible social platforms to imagine new spaces and events needed within higher education now? In collaboration with CalTech, we will use the online platform Second Life to concept, design, and build a shared virtual campus. Students will learn the history of higher education and the collegiate campus, conduct online interviews, and use 3d modeling tools to launch their work within Second Life and learn from their results.
