2013 EDU: Gamification as Discipline for Instructional Design
Gamification as Discipline
for Instructional Design
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructional_design
for Instructional Design
-
Instructional Design (also called Instructional Systems Design (ISD)) is the practice of maximizing the effectiveness, efficiency and appeal of instruction and other learning experiences. The process consists broadly of determining the current state and needs of the learner, defining the end goal of instruction, and creating some "intervention" to assist in the transition. -The outcome of this instruction may be directly observable and scientifically measured or completely hidden and assumed. ... There are many instructional design models but many are based on the ADDIE model with the five phases: 1) analysis, 2) design, 3) development, 4) implementation, and 5) evaluation. As a field, instructional design is historically and traditionally rooted in cognitive and behavioral psychology.-

2013 Media: Tale of two (or more) worlds
Streaming in two worlds. Second Life and InWorldz.
-
Two places at once. Live streaming music to both. Bigger audience. Fleure Homewood does it regularly. Since that looks like a way to expand musical entertainment in the virtual worlds, I asked Fleure to write a bit about how this is done and how it is working out.

2013 STECH: SL8B: Joseph Campbell's hero journey. The journey of life.
The journey of life.
-
-
-
The twelve steps of Joseph Campbell's hero journey
-
Background-
The Hero with a Thousand Faces (first published in 1949) is a non-fiction book, and seminal work of comparative mythology by Joseph Campbell. In this publication, Campbell discusses his theory of the journey of the archetypal hero found in world mythologies.
Since publication of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell's theory has been consciously applied by a wide variety of modern writers and artists. The best known is perhaps George Lucas, who has acknowledged a debt to Campbell regarding the stories of the Star Wars films.[1]
The Joseph Campbell Foundation and New World Library issued a new edition of The Hero with a Thousand Faces in July, 2008 as part of the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell series of books, audio and video recordings.

2013 STAGE: BALLET PIXELLE opens new production. 6/26
BALLET PIXELLE™ PREMIERES "ARCHIDANCE"
A NEW ORIGINAL BALLET
Second Life -- June 26 and 29, 2011
-
By Inarra.Saarinen
-
Ballet Pixelle™ will premiere its twelvth original ballet, “Archidance”,
-
How is dance constructed? What is its architecture? Form, color, shape? Moving steps, turns, jumps? High, slow, and medium height movements? Sharp, flowing, dropping movement? Let's look at the present, past, and future of dance and see how one influences the other.
-
First, we look at these influences and notation of a current ballet
-
Then we see key figures in the construction of dance through the ages, including physical dancers mixed with our virtual dancers.
-
Finally, working with spheres, cubes, and triangles, we can see animated dancers -- who are not real people at all -- and then our virtual dancers who are real people all over the world -- Canada, England, Estonia, Japan, Portugal, Spain, and all time zones of the United States and Hawai`i, dancing together in the future of the art. What are the similarities? What are the differences?
-
Join us for an evening of mind-bending thought and an homage to dance. Leave the theatre wondering... Discussions following all performances.
-
Performances take place on Sundays at 5:00pm and Wednesdays at 3pm at the Ballet Pixelle Theater:
-
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Quat/34/25/107
-
Come early because seats fill quickly.
*********************************************
Ballet Pixelle™ is the first performing ballet company in the virtual global community Second Life. Says the Company's founder, Inarra Saarinen, “As artistic director of the Company since its inception, I have enormous pride in Ballet Pixelle™. Our goal is to investigate and explore the interaction and intersection of physical and virtual dance. We are excited to celebrate the future of dance. We are dancing into the digital future!”
-
Members of Ballet Pixelle™ come together from all over the world, Japan, Europe, and North America. Animations are created by Inarra Saarinen and put into dance phrases. There are no artifical synchronizing devices and the dancers truly perform dancing with each other and the music. Each performance is truly live and unique, and takes advantage of the characteristics of Second Life to extend the art of the ballet in new directions.

Ada's Performing Theater
-
By Sodovan Torok--
Hear the sound of sawing and hammering coming from the northeast corner of Cookie sim? Your ears aren't playing tricks. Ada Radius is building a Renaissance theater in Avatar Repertory Theater's land there. But the theater troupe's new home is not just Yet Another Renaissance Theater. The others are essentially replicas of various theaters in real life. This one is intended for performing theater in Second Life and other virtual worlds.
-
Location
-
“My goal,” Ada says, “is to create the feel of a 16th century theater, but also to adapt the build to the way sight lines and avatar movement work in the metaverse. This one is not a replica of the Globe; it's more typical of earlier Tudor construction.”
The intent is to actually use the building for theatrical productions. “I'm hoping we can put on Shakespeare plays faster, like the way they were done in his time: get your parts, do three rehearsals, and it's on.” She hopes to be done raising clouds of sawdust in a few weeks.
“I'm building something similar on my own standalone OpenSim that we can export to OSGrid and other grids that allow large prims for when we start branching out beyond Second Life.”
Ada Radius is co-founder of Avatar Repertory Theater, and one of their set designers and builders.
