Murdoch University Island in Second Life

Uncategorized

Tonight’s interview with the State Library of Victoria went very well. We discovered that you need to use “push to talk” to stop the echo from speakers creating feedback – but once we knew that, we were flying.

Here’s a backup clip that I put on YouTube in case technology failed. It talks about why Murdoch University bought an island, how we manage it and what we’ve learned. It takes up where my earlier clip – Murdoch Uni Library gets a Second Life – left off in July 2007.

If anyone wants to learn more about Second Life, I am running day long workshops in Sydney and Melbourne for CAVAL , Exploring Second Life, on 9th and 12th of May. Melbourne is booked out, but there are still a few places in the Sydney session.

Here’s a slidecast of my presentaion to the Queensland University Libraries Office of Co-operation‘s event on Wednesday 9th October – Social Software in Libraries. It is at Second Life, Libraries, Universities and Murdoch University Library. The audio is from my practice runthrough on Monday night.

The wiki I used as a handout for the “Doing more with your avatar” workshop in the afternoon is at Doing more with your avatar. Information about creating an avatar and education, libraries and Second Life is at the Murdoch University Discovering your Second Life wiki.
