Stephen was a biology instructor and decided to teach 3 semesters of nonmajors biology in Second Life from the summer of 2010 to spring 2012. Wanting to deliver more than a lecture class, he took students on Darwin's Voyage of Beagle, made them breed bunnies, visit Mendel's Abbey at Genome Island, and present and sometimes BE an animal. He also developed his own virtual chemistry and chromosome segregation manipulatives and a Population Genetics and Selection simulator (in conjunction with Wizardry and Steamworks). In this presentation, he will describe the genetics exercises with a focus on how the Second Life environment enhances the student engagement for learning.
