And you thought WebCT was bad

In my collaborative learning class, the current assignment takes place in a 3D world. Cool, huh? Except the world is buggy, slow moving, and did I mention buggy? We’re supposed to post stories, and then work in groups to evaluate stories. For some reason unknown to me, we had to post our stories in word form instead of text, which slows down the environment even more, and also make this happen:

So, for now at least, I can’t do anything. I’m lucky, though- some people can’t even get the software to run. The students are getting restless.

I think that, while this is a nice idea, it’s fatally flawed. The software is buggy. Plus, it’s a text based assignment, something that would be handled better by the wiki software built into Sakai. I think it would have been better to introduce us to the 3D environment and let us play there, but not require us to do a text based assignment in it.
