Connect@NMC Webinar on UT Statewide SL Initiative

CDB Barkley (aka Alan Levine) : Oct 30, 2009 10:51am

If only perhaps were under a virtual rock, you may have missed the big announcement a few weeks back about the University of Texas statewide project in Second Life- a centrally funded/supported initiative that involves all campuses in the system.

Back on the Real Life Grid, we are hosting a free Connect@NMC webinar with Project Director Bluewave Ogee (aka Leslie Jarmon) to learn more about this important project and how things have progressed in the first months.

This will take place Tuesday, November 3rd at 10am Pacific (check local time) in the NMC Adobe Connect seminar room http://go.nmc.org/connect-nmc. Tell all your avatar friends to join us for this free event where we will have a conversation with Leslie about the project and what it might mean for education and virtual worlds.
