Second Life at MIT
Virtual Worlds: Building an Environment for Learning presented by Phil Long (MIT) at 2007 NMC Summer Conference
Six Barriers to Innovation in MUVE-based teaching
1. The document discusses six barriers to innovation in teaching and learning in multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) like Second Life, including technical, identity, culture, collaboration, time, and economic barriers.
2. Some of the key barriers mentioned are the fluidity of identities in MUVEs, lack of standards, difficulty in finding and participating in communities, need to develop collaboration and digital literacy skills, and the significant time investment required for activities.
3. The document advocates addressing issues like identity, cultural literacy, collaboration skills, and how to best exploit the affordances of MUVEs rather than assuming learning can be directly transferred from the real world.

The document provides a summary of the author's experience at a workshop on collaborative learning in Chania, Crete. [1] The workshop introduced participants to Web 2.0 tools for integrating technology and the internet into educational practices. [2] Over the course of a week, experts lectured on different Web 2.0 tools each day and participants practiced using the tools to create shared projects and digital stories. [3] The workshop emphasized a "free" approach to sharing information and collaborating online using these tools.
Reimagining library and community space with digital technologies
A participatory workshop exploring different ways libraries and other community spaces can use digital technologies to provide engaging and interactive user experiences. Held at Deptford Lounge.
Hacking the public sphere
This document discusses the transition from private to public spheres online and proposes building a "cognitive commons" through sharing and crowdsourcing knowledge. It argues that technologies should be designed to empower users and meet community needs through open models like hackerspaces, Fab Labs, and distributed networks. The goal is for people to work together, learn new skills, and produce technologies to solve real problems through an ongoing process of "sharing, hacking and improving designs." This collaborative approach could help crowd-produce a more equitable digital public sphere.

Felicidades (Julio Iglesias Pedro Vargas)
Este documento es una canción que celebra el dolor y el sufrimiento causado por el amor no correspondido. La canción felicita sarcásticamente a las mujeres por romper los corazones de los hombres, jugar con sus emociones y hacerlos esclavos de sus cadenas a pesar del dolor. Aunque las mujeres hieren a los hombres, estos seguirán adelante contra viento y marea porque el dolor de ser rechazados es menor que la pérdida de no tenerlas.

Second Life: Education in a Virtual World part 2
Presentation slides for the LAUC-B Academic Library 2.0 conference.
Presentation given by Bernadette Daly Swanson (UCD) and Danielle Kane (UCSC)
Virtual Worlds: An Overview and Larger Trends
1. Virtual worlds refer to simulated 3D online environments that users can interact with and where they can socialize, play games, or engage in other activities.
2. There are closed virtual worlds like Second Life that are self-contained, and open virtual worlds on the emerging 3D internet that allow user-generated content.
3. Virtual worlds have potential applications for entertainment, social networking, and even business, but the technology is still developing and how they will ultimately be used is still uncertain.
"Avatars: HVX Silverstar | HVX Voyager & HVX Shephard in Teen Second Life"
This document discusses the growth and use of virtual worlds like Second Life for libraries. It notes that 80% of people are expected to use virtual worlds by 2011. Many libraries have established a presence in Second Life to provide reference services and classes. Some challenges include the learning curve of using virtual worlds and ensuring access for users. The document highlights examples of library services, collections, and events provided in virtual worlds.
Virtual Environments and Web 3D – New Worlds with Old Problems?
The document discusses virtual worlds and Second Life. It provides an overview of the history of virtual worlds, from early platforms in the 1990s to current platforms like Second Life. It describes some of the activities people engage in on Second Life, such as socializing, gaming, arts and culture, business and education. It also touches on some of the opportunities and challenges of virtual worlds, such as their use for civic engagement, adult entertainment, and concerns about safety and identity.
UWS - Virtual Worlds For Education Nov 2007
The document discusses the history and evolution of virtual worlds from text-based MUDs and MOOs to modern 3D virtual worlds like Second Life. It describes how MOOs allowed users to modify content and were used for some educational purposes. It then outlines the rise of massively multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft before focusing on Second Life as a general purpose virtual world that allows users to build content, engage in commerce, and is used by some educational institutions and businesses. It concludes by discussing challenges of using virtual worlds in education and proposing the creation of a learning community focused on virtual worlds at the University of Western Scotland.
SLoodle: Moodle and Second Life
- Sloodle is an open source project that maps the module structure of the Moodle learning management system to activities in the virtual world of Second Life.
- The goal is to allow course designers to experiment with 3D immersion for learning and help teachers and learners achieve learning objectives more efficiently.
- A grant of £80,000 was awarded to the Sloodle project by the UK-based Eduserv Foundation to support development for the 2007-2008 year.

Gametech virtual worlds keynote handout
The document summarizes the history and challenges of virtual worlds from the 1980s to present day. It discusses how early promise of virtual worlds failed to materialize as tools like Facebook and Skype met collaboration needs with less friction. Virtual worlds struggled to pass the "Mom test" of usability. Recent trends like Minecraft show more potential by focusing on casual experiences. Developing virtual worlds now requires a web-first approach with minimal plugins or desktop apps.

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
