Cybergogy Discovery Deck
The Cybergogy of Learning Archetypes and Learning Domains is a model for planning and executing teaching and learning in the context of 3D immersive (3Di) worlds such as Second Life. It was developed by Lesley Scopes (aka Light Sequent in Second Life) in 2009. The model is continuing to evolve organically under a Social Constructivist Learning Theory.
In these activities you will be introduced to the concept of cybergogy and its elements. You will also explore the skills that need to be developed for each of the four learning domains of cybergogy.
The model of cybergogy is quite a complex one. It comprises learning archetypes and learning domains. In this activity you are going to listen to an introductory presentation about cybergogy given by Lesley Scopes.
Watch this Second Life presentation by Lesley Scopes and look at the list of elements below. As you listen, select the checkboxes next to any elements mentioned by the speaker. Make a few notes on any elements mentioned in the text area provided which help you understand their meanings. Then read the feedback.

In this activity you are going to explore the different skills of the four learning domains of cybergogy.
Consider the four learning domains of cybergogy and identify the different skills that you think relate to each. Drag and drop the relevant skills into the correct box to complete the list of skills in each domain. Then read the feedback.
Here is a bibliography of some of the key literature in this area:
