I've decided to do my project about making all kinds of drinks for the beginner bartender. Simple Bartender's Guide to mixing drinks. My target audience would be people who have not taken classes in mixology but want to start out in simple bartending. Anyone can use this; a teacher can use this in a class also. All you have to do is access the board in Second Life. The board will already exist and the teacher or beginning bartender can just access it.
I would like to have a "search" bar with numerous spaces for searching for ingredients so if someone knows a few ingredients, they can type it in and pull up drinks that contain them. This could also be used as a teaching tool for remembering what goes into a certain drink. This could work with groups also. It would be nice to have the teacher list ingredients and the group says what the drink is or writes it in chat and then the real drink is shown.
There could be roles...someone is the bartender and someone is the patron. The time spent here will depend on how much time a person is willing to spend reading drink lists and learning. A teacher could assign times and watch the groups or however many people trying to get the ingredients right.
A test could be devised that groups take on their own and submit the answers to the teacher. It could be a one on one test also or by group with each student having a time limit to submit their answers via chat or voice.
A session will be brought to a close once the teacher feels the learners are at the correct level to be graded or let go. Studying can be done at any time by learners, which makes it a good tool.
I'm not sure if this could be done in real time by any other means that would be as good as SL, other than by sitting in a classroom.
The obstacles I envision are getting the search buttons to allow for multiple ingredients in order to find the right drink. I need the skills of adding media to a board and being able to work with it. I am excited to think that this will possibly work!
