The Future of the Practicum

This week I taught a class of virtual students created by a company called Mursion. Imagine a puppeteer behind the scenes providing the dialogue. My job as the teacher was a lead a discussion and the students reacted with pre-determined responses. 

The Intensity Level was set to "low" so there were no disruptive students or smartphones. I could ask them to raise their hands if they wanted to respond. It was only a slightly terrifying experience but they ended up being a sweet group of fictitious high schoolers.
