2016 Second Life Project

      The 2016 Online English Learning Project, Savage or Civilized, revealed the conflicts between savage and civilized words. The design of the activities was based on literature works and religious stories. The project was designed by 4 Taiwanese students and 2 Indonesia exchange students. By the intercultural cooperation, the project showed its diversity and energetic power for all the guests including international and local students.

      There were 6 activities in this project. The scene for the first 3 games took places on the savage island and the last 3 were carried out around a church which was a symbol of civilization. The characters include Robinson from Robinson Crusoe, Lady Medusa from Greek mythology, Jack from Lord of the Flies and three religious representations, Maria Nancy, Bible Bashing Andri and Wind blessing Jumito. Task such as 1,2,3 escape realized the cross within time and space. And there were tasks about puzzle games, song-singing, tongue twisters and big wind blows. The international students play as the ones getting trapped in the savage island. At the end of the game, they could choose to stay in civilized world or the savage island based on the knowledge they had gained about the 2 distinct places.
