My Identities [Training Mode]

My Identities [Training Mode]


In MySciLife, you play the role of a science concept or object—like the nucleus of a cell, a weather front, a tectonic plate, or even a force like gravity. Think of your identities like wearing a costume—when you post, you’re writing as the identity you created for that MySciLife module, not as yourself! 


As you work through various units of study, you can create new identities for each. You then have the flexibility to toggle back and forth between them at any point. You can even have a different identity for each of your classes considering they may be at different places in the curriculum.
