Campus Director, Second Life at VSU
Hello everyone! I’m Dr. Ocasio and I use Second Life in my online courses as a means for students to get to know each other and to post summaries of final projects. I also conduct some of my office hours in my inworld office. Currently I’m very interested in VR and its applications for language learning. Although my research interests lie in language contact and Garifuna historical linguistics, I enjoy the magical and creative world that Second Life has to offer!

¡Hola a todos! I am Dr. Acosta and I have been on Second Life since 2008. I have primarily used Second Life socially until now. I have run a book club on Second Life since 2009 and recently that group got a movie club branch as well. I used to own a residential and commercial sim with three of my SL friends and have experience managing land on Second Life. I have recently started using Second Life academically, and I am very excited about its potential for education and research. I now co-run a Virtual Spanish Conversation Club with Dr. Ocasio and Dr. Bell. We hope you’ll join us!
