Etherpad in Second Life - Collaborative Doc Sharing Tool


Dear Folks,
I have just installed a new educational document sharing tool in Second Life in the Usability Learning Center and the University Writing Center. It is a software application called Etherpad and multiple avatars can write and edit documents collaboratively in real time. Visit either educational area in Second Life and there is a sign with instructions. To share larger documents, spreadsheets, or Powerpoint presentations, GoogleDocs is a better choice. Let me know if you would like further information. (Click the photo and it will enlarge for a better look).

Writing in Second Life


Marz's Second Life Activities and Building

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.
