DIGITAL CURRICULUM

IDEE and the Institute for Digital Intermedia Arts and Animation have partnered with the College of Fine Arts to create digital entertainment and art curriculum in Second Life.  The initial pilot, aimed at providing college credit to high school students, will be tested in January 2008.  Commercial implementation is planned for 2009.

IDEE's contribution to this project is a short online course that instructs students on “what makes a story” and how to write a 2-minute script. After completing the course, students are encouraged to explore the curriculum available in Second Life. View the beta site.
