2015 VIDEO: WRITE: Immersive Edge, not since the dawn of time travel.... Immersive Edge, a collaborative video production

Immersive Edge, not since the dawn of time travel...  
A collaborative video production

A project to merge storytelling with video production. Virtual worlds, video capture and editing software, YouTube, and social media have brought video production within reach of people (formerly writers) who want to tell stories.  This article announces the release of a resulting video production.

• Watch on YouTube

Only love matters.
It should be that simple.
It never is.

When their DIY mashups of VR headsets and god helmets goes haywire, cyber-lovers, Dylan and Namaka, are plunged into a life-or-death adventure. With their consciousness fused into their avatar bodies, they must find the path back to reality before their physical bodies die.

Their quest takes them through beautiful yet deadly worlds. Their appearances change with each new destination along the “path of the rose”. As they defeat villains and overcome challenges, their fear of not finding a way home is replaced by fear they will.

Can real life compare to living on the immersive edge?

It’s your job to find the way home and bring them back.

It won’t be easy.

In cyber, everything’s a lie.
And nothing is.

2015 EDU: Escape to a New Way to Learn Spanish, invited post by James T. Abraham, Ph.D.

Escape to a New Way to Learn Spanish, 
invited post by James T. Abraham, Ph.D.

Spanish Language instruction on the Hypergrid.  College level course offered on a sim. The sim is actively used to teach a Spanish class at Glendale Community College in Arizona.  It is also open for use by anyone on the Hypergrid.  It may be used for self instruction, as an instructional environment for classes, as a source of ideas for other instructors of Spanish, or as a demonstration for others seeking support for 3D language instruction.

For Spanish language learners seeking an escape from the two-dimensional world of textbooks and videos comes a new virtual world, appropriately named Spanish Language Learning at Escape. Escape, which means the same in both Spanish and English, is an immersive, interactive three-dimensional region created by James T. Abraham, Ph.D. (El Profesor) and Martha Eugenia Lino (Eugenia Calderón) on the Digiworldz grid

2015 HG: PEOPLE: ART: New plans for WIP meeting, to show stuff with OSSL threat functions

New plans for WIP meeting, 
to show stuff with OSSL threat functions

The WIP show sometimes needs a meeting place where people can show objects running OSSL functions that have a high threat level.  Usually these can only be run by the owner of the sim or by a sim manager.  Pandora is a region specifically set up to support showing of such objects, so some of the meetings will be held there.  This article presents details of how to get there and present.  

Probable seating

We (of the WIP organizers) are still learning. 

• Much work is being done with OSSL functions not available in Second Life.  
• OSSL adds functions to LSL: threat levels control misuse
• That work cannot easily be shown in Kitely.
• because of restrictions on who can use the threat functions.  
• Nara Malone has offered her Pandora region as a host for presentations.
• Pandora is specifically designed for demos of OSSL functions.
• The grid is also non-commercial, if that matters to you.  

Go there

• Paste the grid address below in the World Map, next to Find, click Find, TP
• world.narasnook.com:8900 
• At the grid, look in the world map for Pandora, TP there
• Or use the Firestorm hop in the nav bar of Firestorm
• hop://grid.kitely.com:8002/Pandora/110/123/21
• Current plans: WIP meets on Pandora on the second Sunday of the month
• Meeting time: Noon California time.  
• Next WIP meeting: Oct. 11 at noon California time.
• If you don't rez fully, edit your appearance or rebake.

Second meeting in October?

• We need content, MC, and time for second meeting.

2015 EDU: PEOPLE: TKR: Present information in ways that help people use it

Present information in ways that help people use it.

In this excerpt from the event 'Mind, Society and Behaviour' Varun Gauri discusses how redesigning the information and social environment can help people make better decisions about their education, savings, healthcare and other domains of life, as too much information can be overwhelming.

• Watch on YouTube

Development economics and policy are due for a redesign. A more realistic understanding of how human beings think and behave can make development policies more effective, and can help development professionals become more aware of their own biases.

2013 EDU: TKR: Life's Little Lessons From Virtual Worlds

 Life's Little Lessons From Virtual Worlds

Life lessons are what you learn when you set out to do things. Not pass tests, but actually reach a real goal.  In virtual worlds you can set goals.  You can reach the goals or not reach the goals.  That's the way it works in real life, too.  But in virtual worlds, you get do-overs.  You can't get killed.  You can't even get mugged, drugged, or beaten.  So you can take more risks.  Lean things faster.  

What a student can learn beyond the subject matter

• How to research subject matter: internet search and evaluate skills.
• Interpersonal skills (how to work with other people).
• Speaking skills (how to present your ideas effectively).
• Organizational skills (how to develop an effective plan).
• Group skills (how to work in a task-oriented group).
• Self-confidence: if you have all the skills above, you look self-confident.
• You don't really know something useful until you can do something useful.
• You get nowhere till you learn to focus on what you can do or learn.

Detailed life lessons after the break

Ann:  Nothing is promotable long term unless it benefits the customer.  Actually, the benefit to the customer is what makes it promotable, at least long term.   This idea about outsourcing the tier is promotable that way. And clever.  That's why I want to tell about it.

Educational game? Mastery quiz? Quest?

A virtual world makes it fairly easy to create static scenes that depict things that are educationally important in some contexts.   Outside of school, people often like to answer quizzes. And people will pay money to solve mystery stories and to complete quests.  Could we use virtual worlds to make quizzes and quests for educational purposes?
