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.

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.

Pleasure, Play, Participation, and Promise We also had the slides available in world ... more » »

A brief update on the planned sessions of this week's NMC Summer Conference that will have several sessions connected to Second Life - to simplify the "finding" we have decided to hold all of them in the same location- the new Red Rocks Amphitheater at Research Park (39,18,45).

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 » »
