Research methods

I've been working on my lesson plans for the class sessions that will be held on Second Life for my LIS research methods class in the coming fall. So far I could only see SL as an approriate place for methodologies like interview and participant observation. I plan to send my students over to Info Island to interview the librarians there; or if they want more fun, they could go to a gathering place for a special population (such as a gay club) for their participant observation practice.

I still need to work out the details and hopefully my students can learn effectively in this immersive world.
