We had some challenges live streaming Lyr Lobo (aka Cynthia Calongne) for her presentation from the 2007 NMC Summer Conference, but we did get an audio recording (see below) of here fantastic session. As usual, she infected the room with energy, and she wandered all over the space as she explained with infinite enthusiasm her way of "being" in Second Life.

Today at the 2007 NMC Summer Conference, live from Indianapolis, Angela Thomas, the RL avatar of Anya Ixchel, wowed an audience with her presentation that painted a vivid picture of the notions of "play" and identity in digital spaces. We did what we could to bring the experience into Second Life, with a live audio stream.... mostly live- due to some technical challenges, the stream kept cutting out. Pleasure, Play, Participation, and Promise We also had the slides available in world ... more » »

NMC Summer Conference Workshop Originally uploaded by NMC Second Life. The Second Life update was canceled or made smaller just this morning, so we were able to log into Second Life this morning for the "Hit the Ground Running: Making the Most of Your Second Life" -- a preconference workshop for the 2007 NMC Summer Conference. There is a wiki set up with some resources. Our room full of relative Sl newbies got lessons in navigation, communication, editing appearance, sharing notecards, etc. more » »

It becomes more apparent every day how much Second Life is becoming an international environment, and one, in places, where English is not the primary language. We've been following with some interest a new web site, dotSUB, that takes an interesting approach to ultimately add multi-lingual captions to video-- allowing visitors to the site to add translations of the captions into any of the numerous other languages supported on the site.. or, was call it, "user generated video captioning". They have ... more » »

In real life, she is Beth Ritter-Guth, Women's Studies and English Faculty at Lehigh Carbon Community College in Pennsylvania. We were able to meet up for this audio interview over in one of the studio spaces inside the Machinima Studio on NMC Campus at ... more » »

You have to be an edge seeking heat seeker to rely n Second Life- its great when everything works, and will turn your hair white when it fails you. Fortunately, we have plenty of people who are affiliated or friends with NMC Campus who fly in the face of that uncertainty. An example this week was Larry Pixel's presentation using SL as a vehicle to present to a RL audience at SUNY when weather foiled his travel plans. With scant ... more » »
