The presenter will discuss the process and pedagogical lessons learned from using the 3-D virtual environment Second Life in a Mental Health Diagnosis Course in a graduate degree program in counseling. The presenter is involved in developing the virtual-world learning environment, integrating its use in counseling courses in a master’s program, and is currently completing research on using virtual environments in higher education. The objective is to present a study of using a 3-D virtual learning environment in a course with a cohort of students learning to identify and treat clients with mental illness. Using the results of student responses to a perceived learning instrument, an attitudinal survey, and interviews, the presenter will discuss the implications, and offer practical suggestions for using virtual-world learning environments in higher education courses.
