Many of these course implemented the use of the virtual reality world called Second Life. The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UA has worked with virtual reality architect to create a space named Cibola. This project was the design of Department Head Malcolm Compitello and was heavily developed with the then graduate student Juliana Freire. I was awarded a fellowship to continue working with them on the development and use of the space. On my end, I was the first to integrate Cibola into undergraduate courses including it in my course syllabi, and requiring students to post final projects in the virtual space, as well as conduct final presentations there. Several class periods throughout the semester were also conducted in the space in order to have students become accustomed to navigating the virtual world, practice speaking, and learn about hispanic cultures.
