Dear Second Life Folks,
I thought I would just give everyone an update on my Second Life building activities.
In June 2008 I was the virtual design architect for the Usability Learning Center, a center for usability information and testing.

In August of 2008 I then created a virtual University Writing Center for its real-life director.

I now have a new upcoming project building a courtroom site for a modern language professor.
If anyone would like an educational area in Second Life, please contact me for details. I am available for full site creation at a reasonable price which includes design, scripting, implementation, user training, and maintenance.
My Second Life name is Marz Dayafter and I am located in the RUC Seven Oaks Region.
My email address is margh2010@comcast.net

Nice work! This is very helpful to know as Linden Labs comes out with their institutional programs, that the New Media Consortium calls their Hakone Project. If or when UCF partipates, we'll need to consider implications for teaching and learning.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to get some f2f and SL events to get together as well.

Hi, all,
ReplyDeleteI am beginning to contemplate teaching a course in 3D educational media design (whatever that means), so I will enjoy reading this blog and learning from/contributing to the discussion.
We're working on a grant that would allow us to build a courtroom space in SL for teaching (studying) translation and tech writing. Perhaps we could also use the blog for collecting ideas as we move forward?
ReplyDeleteDear Folks,
ReplyDeleteI just discovered a free collaborative document sharing tool in Second Life. I have been using Google Docs, but it was arduous, and I wanted to share this with you. It is called Etherpad and the information is at www.etherpad.com
If anyone would like information about installation and usage, just contact me and I would be glad to help.
You can view this tool in the University Writing Center.

Dear Second Life Folks,
ReplyDeleteSome of the best educational applications I have seen for Second Life are those for 3D data displays and mind-mapping. Please visit the website at http://sldataviz.pbwiki.com/Prim-Plotter for a plotter prim tool and some truly inspiring work. If you scroll and view the right sidebar you can view photos of various Second Life Data Viz Projects.
