The project was developed by the following students from the Diploma in Information Technology: Loy Liyu June Valerie, Ko Shiya Jocelyn, Yeo Meizi, Ang Mei Yin Phoebe, Mok Swee Fun, Neo Xiu Ting, Marshal Sruthy, Nur Syahirah bte Adam, Tun Tun Aung, Lee Yan Ling Jocelyn, Eslyn Ong Hui Min, Cheong Wai Loong and Lim Zhi Ying.
The project team saw potential in using Second Life (SL), an Internet-based 3D virtual world, as an immersive environment for teaching and learning. They hence developed a TP Island in Second Life. The team wanted to explore the existing SL features as well as added technical implementations that would be needed to enhance the whole experience of teaching and learning in an immersive environment.
They developed quiz tools, a digital dropbox, text-to-speech functions and even ePets to serve as learning tools and companions. Through TP in Second Life, the team hopes to provide a positive and unique learning environment that would make learning fun and convenient for students.
