As some of you have discovered, this is a great resource for educators in SL and I invite you all to make use of it. Hosted by Jay Ackroyd, and supported by a team of volunteer staff, since then, Jay has interviewed more than 70 pundits, scholars, authors, politicians, public servants, scientists, historians and economists. The show is produced via Second Life for a digitally present studio audience. Jay and his guest dial into BlogTalkRadio and simultaneously log on to SecondLife. The studio audience participates in text, commenting and asking questions which are read by all. In recent months, Kate Miranda has been producing live concerts with her talented friends from Music Island Concerts. We're there nearly every Thursday. Twice a month, we begin with music at 4:30 slt. Interviews begin at 6pm slt. The show is simulcast and then archived on the web via Blogtalk Radio.

There are plenty of practical reasons why folk may choose to have their names as their names... Years ago when most of my students used yahoo etc for email their online persona became intimately intertwined with what number they were given when signing up. If you ended up as DaveM351 then that was your moniker, and something about the fact that - even though it wasn't your real name - it was unique in the world... well that holds some currency. How folk come to their names in the internet age is interesting, and predominantly outside of analysis nor philosophical or ethical punditry. I'd like to think SL names are something akin to "lonesome no more" from Voneguts slapstick... but that's a personal fetish and bears no resemblance to reality. In my experience neither does the immersionist argument. On 29/10/2009, at 12:18 AM, Robert A.

To: "SL Educators \(The SLED List\)" <[hidden email]> Message-ID: <[hidden email]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed; delsp=yes SL is very different to most chat systems in that we are embodied in it. There are various personality types (i live with at least three) which deal with 3d space differently. For some the extraneous faff of SL is pointless, and they'll argue that till the cows come home - that the extra bandwidth isn't worth it and other things work better. There are some who will - and they won't be able to say why - expound the virtues of 3d as some liberating thing.... but whatever it is that they're talking about it's all about intangible stuff that you can't actually name. I've found over time that one can't reconcile these two camps, so one must make a call as to what makes more sense. If one camp feels 3d is critical and the other pointless then for a certain type of person that is critical. Given that we live in a 3d world it's not a big ask for those who see it as pointless to get on board with those who see it as critical - one must give some concessions. This won't sell 3d to those who don't see the benefit.. but they can just stand on the spot typing "why don't we do this in irc?!?!" until they get over it. They're not losing a great deal but if they have their way those who feel the importance of embodiment will be disenfranchised. Just my two cents.

The VRR's purpose is to help visualize virtual worlds other than Second Life and introduce other virtual worlds than SL for research and teaching. The VRR is a panocube (created by Stephane Desnault), providing an optical illusion which offers an sense of immersion to visitors. Imagine a cube in which you are hovering in the center. The view you would get from being there should be the same as the location of your hovering avatar in ActiveWorlds/WoW/OpenSim/Moondus/Cobalt/Metaplace/etc. To create scenes from these other worlds (OpenSim, 3DXplorer, DigitalSpaces, ...), i need 6 pictures for each world. The 6 pictures should create a panoramic view of a location *(4 sides, 1 sky, 1 ground)*. Best format for the virtual room is 1024x1024 JPEG textures, reasonably compressed to about 200kB. If you have a research project in a VW, please also send me an abstract of the research along your pictures so that the visitors can read up on your research and understand what they are seeing. I will integrate the information in a kiosk in the scene. Send everything to [hidden email] The VRR and the posted research done in diverse virtual worlds will be presented at AERA 2010, Thank you for making this exhibit a success, S. *** Sabine K. Y.

The gist of it is that make a series of points for a prim to visit, and control a lot of aspects of what happens at each point: * time/position/scaling/rotation * textures, including control of per-face, alpha, offsets, rotation, and repeats * particles * rez objects A video will help: http://bit.ly/bucky-tt-demoreel As well as a SLURL to the store: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cybrary%20City%20II/96/153/23 One use case is pretty simple: slideshows.. it can be as basic as an in-place show, or one that moves and changes rotation/scaling... Add in the ideas of controlling time at each point, particles, and rezzable objects (e.g. temporary lights), and you start to get the gist :) There are extensive menus, as well as chat commands to handle every aspect. The beta is free. It will be a commercial product (this one was hard!), but I will consider edu deals on a case by case basis. I anticipate the 1.0 version out by Thanksgiving.

The view you would get from being there should be the same as the location of your hovering avatar in ActiveWorlds/WoW/OpenSim/Moondus/Cobalt/Metaplace/etc. To create scenes from these other worlds (OpenSim, 3DXplorer, DigitalSpaces, ...), i need 6 pictures for each world. The 6 pictures should create a panoramic view of a location (4 sides, 1 sky, 1 ground). Best format for the virtual room is 1024x1024 JPEG textures, reasonably compressed to about 200kB. If you have a research project in a VW, please also send me an abstract of the research along your pictures so that the visitors can read up on your research and understand what they are seeing. I will integrate the information in a kiosk in the scene. Send everything to [hidden email]<mailto:[hidden email]> The VRR and the posted research done in diverse virtual worlds will be presented at AERA 2010, Thank you for making this exhibit a success, S. *** Sabine K.

Doesn't that make it a tourbot as well?

The gist of it is that make a series of points for a prim to visit, and control a lot of aspects of what happens at each point: * time/position/scaling/rotation * textures, including control of per-face, alpha, offsets, rotation, and repeats * particles * rez objects A video will help: http://bit.ly/bucky-tt-demoreel As well as a SLURL to the store: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cybrary%20City%20II/96/153/23 One use case is pretty simple: slideshows.. it can be as basic as an in-place show, or one that moves and changes rotation/scaling... Add in the ideas of controlling time at each point, particles, and rezzable objects (e.g. temporary lights), and you start to get the gist :) There are extensive menus, as well as chat commands to handle every aspect. The beta is free. It will be a commercial product (this one was hard!), but I will consider edu deals on a case by case basis. I anticipate the 1.0 version out by Thanksgiving.

I dont (yet) support echoing out text at each point.. but.. hmm.. you could rez a prim at whatever spot that whispers some text and then deletes itself.

Finally, my students noted, SL did not seem "empty." At this point in the term, they all felt comfortable enough with SL to "venture out" into the social scene. I felt that Burning Life could be a safe choice given the lack of running scripts, the presence of Rangers, and even my being in-world to come by "just in case." Kudos to Linden Lab for making BL09 a far less laggy experience for me and my class than it was in 2008.

Yes, it does work well for that purpose. You can sit on the prim, move with it from point to point, and receive a notecard (object, whatever) at that point. As I have time, I want to see if I can put together a tour balloon that would carry a few people and do different things at each stop. Might be kinda fun.

Hi Sarah
Nobody here can do this for you but the link you need is on the page cited in your post, viz https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/educators It's right at the bottom. In my experience it takes a bit of persistence but it does ultimately work.

I received a message that my membership was disabled because of excessive bounces from my account.
Is this legit? The only reason I know that messages would be bouncing (because some are getting through) is excessively large files being caught in the spam filter. It seems unreasonable to make not using a spam filter a condition of being on the list.

Yes, Jocelyn, this happens to me about every two weeks. It takes
about 60 seconds to sign up again. I don't think I am missing many posts, but of course, I can't be sure. sc >I received a message that my membership was disabled because of >excessive bounces from my account. >Is this legit? >The only reason I know that messages would be bouncing (because some >are getting through) is excessively large files being caught in the >spam filter.
