I should add that my contribution was intended to be humorous. StoryMachine is neither well-coded nor easy to use -- people have been known to lose the plot within 10 seconds when I try to explain it. El's spidergram tool is far more amenable to student use and allows you to introduce the basics of prim-handling in a subject-specific context. She can be persuaded to do a sim-specific version at a multiple of the normal price and that means students can have their own copy for free. Salahzar, of course, does some excellent tools as well.
All of which is really an excuse to pass on info from the HKD group (and to recall that the wiki was first raised in that context). Peter [SL: Graham Mills] >>>>>>>> Wow, we are already seeing results from Helen Keller Day which focused on making SL accessible to everyone. Philip Linden saw the Google translator for 43 languages. Philip opened a JIRA to have it added to the next viewer, which will make it very easy to understand all languages with screen readers. It may include easy translation of notecards and web pages, too, for everyone in the world. Now you can go do your part! Just go to http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SNOW-93 and vote YES. Let's continue the celebration of Helen Keller Day and "Inclusion for Everyone in Virtual Worlds." Please pass this on to your other groups and ask them to vote YES.

A fine example of timely, in depth research that makes us proud to be associated with academia :) It may just be the style of writing but...I had to chuckle at it's 'naivety' if nothing else :)http://www.medindia.net/news/Experts-Says-Virtual-Game-Second-Life-is-More-Than-Just-Sex-53796-1.htm Experts Say Virtual Game 'Second Life' is More Than Just Sex Researchers at the University of Toronto and the University Health Network’s Centre for Innovation in Complex Care (CICC) have revealed that virtual reality game ’Second Life’ is not just about sex and pornography, it also educates its users about a wide range of health related problems. ’Second Life’ is free for users with basic accounts, and reported over 16 million registered users worldwide in 2008 and players of the game create online alter egos who live full lives, including having jobs, relationships and children. But, despite instances of pornography and "cheating" spouses, the web-based platform is also used to educate people about illness, train physicians, nurses and medical students with virtual simulations, enable disease-specific support and discussion groups, fundraise real-life dollars for medical research, and to conduct research. The researchers found that health-related activities in the virtual world have significant implications in the real world. "Virtual worlds and the social networks that populate the Internet offer a new domain for healthcare. Although it is early in the development, there is a great opportunity to use these platforms for education, research and even disease surveillance," said Dante Morra, Medical Director of the CICC. Jennifer Keelan, the Principal Investigator on the project, suggested that a major feature for users is the "relative anonymity where patients can seek out information and share health experiences in a safe environment. She added: "There is also a great potential for patients to practice being patients by virtually experiencing a mammogram or navigating a hospital’s virtual ward-they can gain insight into medical procedures and processes to become more informed." "There is a great opportunity here to understand the design features of social media that make it so appealing and accessible to people. Once we understand what pulls people to Web 2.0, we can design and apply more effective communication strategies both within and beyond the Internet," said Leslie Beard, the designer on the team. The findings have been published in the open access publication Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR). _______________________________________________ Educators mailing list To unsubscribe https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/educators |

http://tidalblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/storymachine-meet-tiddlywiki.html Peter [SL: Graham Mills] -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Miller, Peter Sent: 30 June 2009 11:50 To: 'SL Educators (The SLED List)' Subject: Re: [SLED] In-world wiki I'm a little behind on this thread but would just like to draw attention to a possible role for TiddlyWiki as a part of any solution that emerges. If one assumes the primacy of the inworld 3D wiki, one needs a means of generating a web-based version of it. A TiddlyWiki is made up of small chunks called tiddlers that might equate quite nicely with a node and associated notecard. While TiddlyWiki is primarily single-user, it has (or had -- I haven't used it for a while) the nice feature of being (fairly) readily generated programmatically. The result displays inworld as HTML-on-a-prim and has the added benefit of offering permaviews which means that you can display particular tiddlers. More on TiddlyWiki here http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ and accounts on an online version here http://tiddlyspot.com/ . Just a thought. Peter [SL: Graham Mill] -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Eloise Pasteur Sent: 29 June 2009 14:44 To: SL Educators (The SLED List) Subject: Re: [SLED] In-world wiki It's horses for courses, but I hardly ever use the in-world browser. It puts a big, ugly, flat floater over the world I'm trying to see and move around in 3D. Add to that the fact I run SL in a window and can have a faster, better, more fully featured browser with all my preferences, bookmarking for those places I want to go back to and all the rest running for those times I must use the internet, and it's a pretty easy choice for me. If we had a prim-based wiki we could, in theory, have something that largely doesn't apply flat floaters over our view of the world letting us keep that 3D experience. However, I'm lacking a way to make it work nicely still. Some of the challenges I can solve, but it's still ultra- geeky and about as usable as CLI for Linux, DOS or UNIX in this age of windows, icons and the like. I will keep pottering away and see if I can adapt it to make it nice to use in any way. El.

Didn't Eloise Pasteur already do something like this?
Suzie -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Salahzar Stenvaag Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 7:41 PM To: SL Educators (The SLED List) Subject: Re: [SLED] In-world wiki Ok, having heard you love 3D inworld solution, and since I'm also a fan of collaborative thinking. What about a 3D map built as a mindmap, where every person can collaboratively touch to add nodes, connecting the nodes change the shape, name the nodes, put notecards and links insides, and have other getting the notecards? Such collaborative tool can be used to effectively grow up in a meeting like or unattended way a discussion (like a forum), or simply letting people express something. Know that this sounds really different from a wiki, but it seems quite exciting and productive for collaborative work. Actually I'm working on such mindmap tool and when it is at some alpha stage ready to be used I will try to make you see. My intention is not to have a all frills sophisticated tool, but instead a KISS tool (keep it simple) to accomplish the following goals: 1\ show some effective scripting ways for sharing objects, dialogs and content in a community 2\ have it in a low prim manner so to facilitate the usage even in small lots 3\ enhance the game / colored spirit to instigate the people in producing creative content Just to let you know what I'm working on (still in alpha 0.001 phase): * a sphere. When clicked allows for various menu: * SIZE for changing the size of the sphere (double the size, half it, increment, decrement) * COLOR change the color of the sphere * MOVE move the sphere on various directions * REZ rez another ball on the principal directions (TOP, LEFT, FRONT, BOTTOM, BOTTOM etc)... When child node is rezzed it will "LINK" to the parent through particles (quite scenic to see and primless). In such way moving the nodes will automagically move all the links with ZERO scripting and no lag at all in the server. * NAME for naming the node * TYPE to change the form in a cube, pyramid, flat box, tall box, star, point, blinking sphere :) + DELETE for deleting the node + BREAK for removing the link to parent leaving it free for creating a new TREE of concepts + NOTECARD GIVE, give me the notecards inside this node, PUT, allows people to drop in some new notecards, DEL to selectively delete old notecards This is just a brainstorming view, I'm currently implementing right now the (*) points. Do you think this kind of 3D growing concept tree, mindmap, 3d wiki, or whatever you want to name it, can be in some ways useful for the community? Thanks for any feedbacks. _______________________________________________ Educators mailing list To unsubscribe https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/educators _______________________________________________ Educators mailing list To unsubscribe https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/educators |

Was this from her fully opensource? If yes I would love to build from
that, please point me to the sources, if not I think that the educational community really needs to have plenty of opensource projects like sloodle and moodle and there is no real replication in doing free version of closed source. :) I started my scripts as closed source 2 years ago, but then progressively realized that only opensource is something which can be useful to the community even when the original creator is not more in sl or having time to give you updated versions. Nothing against closed source, just I'm taking the other path, and really eager to teach people how they can do things like these without relying on gurus or special people: every person is special if given the proper information and formation. sal Adrienne Gusoff - "Opportunity knocked.

"Nothing against closed source, just I'm taking the other path, and
really eager to teach people how they can do things like these without relying on gurus or special people: every person is special if given the proper information and formation." So, everybody can code as well as you, Sal? That may be potentially true but for many it will take hours that they would rather spend doing other stuff. And isn't a mentor a sort of "special person"? Don't get me wrong, I think SL mentors do a great job passing on essential skills but so do many of the indie developers like El who have supported this list for a long time. Over the years, I've bought a lot of commercial products with my own money, El's included, because I (i) have some disposable income, (ii) want to sponsor creativity (from which I ultimately benefit), (iii) hope it keeps developers in the "game" (which has a cost in terms of tier, after all). I've also been in SL long enough to know that there is a (largely) moribund open source initiative called Open SLEDware. El contributed to the start of that. By all means breathe new life into it but let's identify new needs rather than clone existing low-cost products. Best wishes Peter [SL: Graham Mills] Disclosure: friend of El's who has benefited from her mentoring and knows her well enough to appreciate she probably won't agree with a word of this. -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Craig Maynard Sent: 02 July 2009 23:15 To: SL Educators (The SLED List) Subject: Re: [SLED] In-world wiki I agree completely with Sal!

This SL mentor can't write code, and doesn't care to learn. I don't have enough time to use SL in the ways I already know how to use it, and I can't imagine spending more time to add skills I won't then be able to have enough time to use. :) SL builders have become SO much more skillful in the 1.5 years since I joined. It's exactly replicating the RL experience when factories started mass-producing goods: people who'd previously relied on what they could build with their own hands, began relying on what others could make faster and cheaper. Even though I have sewing and weaving skills in RL, I still buy my sheets and towels. :) _______________________________________________ Educators mailing list To unsubscribe https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/educators |

I've produced a Wiki3D Builder 0.1 opensourced with by-nc-sa and probably will propose an integration with sloodle framework (one interesting idea would be to prepare a mindmap on the website and letting the tool recreate it inworld when needing).
You can find the code and the instructions on how to setup here: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Wiki3DBuilder If you are not as it happens programmers, and you are interested in such free tool, I will work on some video and further documentation explaining how to use it. I will also set up some meetings inworld with public show on how it can be useful.
Better programmers than I am can better this idea and do much more. Yesterday I did some show of the current alpha version to various people and they were quite shocked by the immense possibilities that can come from this tool, such as:
* collective brainstorm (obvious) * collective art productions * collective building of structures * using this as guided "storage" for freebie and in general to guide people in reading structured information in a predefined guided tour.
This is as well tremendous in my opinion for educators also. And the feedback I received already from people in this list showed me the great interest (this is why I started at first point, having read this thread on SLED). Thanks for all who encouraged me in doing this.
This is still an alpha missing for example the following important features: * LOCK of the building so to let it be used without allow modification * OWNER, GROUP and ACCESS limitation (to avoid hackers destroying everything
* Automatic linking of all the nodes (for easy storage of prebuilt mindmaps) * Other friendiness enhancement.. Here an (orrid) image: http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3410/07192009134921.jpg
I will do something better :) Who is interested Ted Turner - "Sports is like a war without the killing." On Fri, Jul 3, 2009 at 16:16, Martin, Jocelyn <[hidden email]> wrote:

Sal, This looks very interesting indeed. Thank you for sharing your
tool. I have followed the instructions on the SL Wiki but there seems to be a syntax error on line 813 column 37 that I can't figure out how to fix. Since others might encounter the same problem I thought I would post this here rather than via a private email. It is the line that begins "addMenu ("MENUSTOPREZ"..." Probably something simple but any help with this would be appreciated as I am quite a noob with scripting.

Hi, published the script to XStreetSL here https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=1632590
Anyway I'll try to present it tomorrow at a Developer meeting for Slooder developers
in sloodle island (UFO meeting area), at 10PM Italian time which should be 1PM SLT time (should be convenient for European Users). Thanks for all the feedback I already got. Repeating myself.... Will try to produce a movie and present it in a public meeting probably next Friday at the same hour (1PM SLT).

I've improved the 0.1 version of the wiki3d and published new info over the usual channels:
* SecondLife wiki: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Wiki3DBuilder1.0 * XStreet https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=1683737 * Video for seeing it at work:http://blip.tv/file/2453235/ I'm still trying to organize a live demo with Q&A on the fly. Do you think that August is a good month for doing this? Otherwise I will wait for September. There had been people offering to help in building up instructions on how to use this, and also I'm considering to integrate this tool with some other web things like moodle/sloodle. I also had been in touch with Butch Dae for using mindmap as a spatial organization of hierarchical information as they are doing with their VIT mindtool which however seems lacking the possibility of "editing" the mindmap inworld, which can be a substantial improvement and an effective use of SL for creating knowledge.

That looks amazing Sal! Very nice work. :-)
I have a notion of a similar concept, which integrates with a system similar to quizHUD. Individual students would click on a node to view its content on a HUD (fed in from the VLE/LMS using parcel media). A central screen would optionally be displayed in-world which could display a single page for everyone. That could be under the control of a group of students for collaborative work, or under the control of just a teacher for other purposes. I will try to conduct a focus group on that at some point. -Peter _______________________________________________ Educators mailing list To unsubscribe https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/educators |
