Posters on the Green

CDB Barkley (aka Alan Levine) : Jul 12, 2007 11:49am

Like last year, we will be “reprising” the poster sessions from the 2007 NMC Summer Conference on NMC Campus. They will be available for viewing July 20-27 on the “Green”, the open lawn area surrounding the Gonick Amphitheater, and we are inviting as many presenters as we can to be available on Friday, July 20, 1:00-3:00 PM SLT/PDT) so you can talk to them about their projects.

Franklin University’s poster presentation for The CPA Review, a session at the 2007 summer conference on a project that “provides the online student preparing for the CPA Exam with an intuitive user interface and 2D animated character — complete with lip syncing — who acts as the student’s instructor.”

All in all there are 23 exciting poster presentations from the conference in Indianapolis we plan to bring to you in Second Life, along with contact information and resources via notecards, on topics including “Blueprint For an Integrated Learning and Portfolio System”, “Can You Hear Me Now? Pilot Study of Classroom Recording Technologies”, “Digital Asset Management: Beyond the Repository”, “OpenCourseWare: It’s Not Just MIT Anymore”, “Using VRML and Flash to Teach Three Dimensional Coordinate Space”, “You Don’t Know Meningitis: Injecting Interactivity Into Health Education”, and much more. We even hope to try and have some version of the Peopls’s Choice award winner “Seeing Sideways: The New Media Eye” not a flat 2D poster but a multi-sensory, original display embodied in a real refrigerator (learn more…)

• See the posters July 20-27, 2007: The Green near Gonick Amphitheater at NMC Campus 113,100,26 (to visit NMC Campus, you must first join one of our in world groups).
• Meet the Presenters: July 20, 1:00-3:00 PM SLT / PDT (check local time)
• Look for conference videos all week long on the big screen at the Gonick

And since NMC Campus is now voice enabled, this would be a great opportunity to get the First Look client fired up, plug in your headsets, and have an audio chat with our poster presenters and other guests!
