On Thursday last week we met over at Enmore College for our final session with the ‘Using the Second Life Virtual World in Teaching and Learning’ LearnScope Team from Sydney Institute. It was fun to meetup with a small group from the team again… although a little bit of a shame more didn’t make it.

We started off with a great session with Dr. Cynthia Calongne aka Lyr Lobo Professor of Computer Science, Colorado Technical University - a fabulous educator in Second Life, who is working on all sorts of interesting stuff. Check out the slides from her presentation here and the recording of the session here.

After a quick coffee break, we managed to do a few building experiments in Second Life. The team experimented with rezzing and manipulating prims and we tried out some rotating textures just for fun. I also gave them a sign frame to experiment with - so I’m expecting to see some creative signs about libraries, disabilities and Sydney Institute projects in the coming weeks! LOL!

We also recorded the momentus occassion by convening for a team photograph on the Sydney Institute plot on jokaydia.

Thanks everyone - I’ve had fun sharing and learning with you this year… and I’m looking forward to seeing your experiments in Second Life in the coming months! ;) A special thanks to Steph for the amazing work he’s done getting us access to Second Life from inside the TAFE network, to Paula for all her facilitation and team rallying, and of course to Sean for all his hard work and support!

Now… back to building… It’s time to get ready for eLearning07!
