NMC Campus Observer

Keynote at SLCC Convention

Larry Pixel (aka Larry Johnson) : Aug 22, 2006 11:47pm

I was honored to have been invited to provide a keynote presentation for the Education in SL track at the 2006 Second Life Community Convention, held last weekend in San Francisco. This session was sponsored and arranged by the folks on the Second Life in Education Mailing List (great job, guys!).

We had a very crowded room for the session, and we apologize for our virtual participants as we struggled with some internet connectivity issues. However, I did manage to record the audio from my presentation, along with 2 of the keynote sessions, using my portable audio recorder.

I decided to present sans PowerPoint, and instead, used all of the resources available on NMC Campus to talk about our work there. This included our “Seriously Engaging” movie, the NMC Campus Observer, our campus guide wiki, some in world art and books, and much more.

I also talked a bit about the future expansion plans for NMC Campus, which are very exciting, and will be described here ASAP.

I made an incredible number of powerful connections at this real virtual conference.

As an aside, this campus currently occupies one island / sim. I heard via a podcast earlier this week that it will be growing to a total of 7 sims later this year. That’s a real sign of their success, since they are funded by grant money. [...]
