2020 #VWEDU: A campus grid for a graduate school. An independent grid using the Kitely organization system

A campus grid for a graduate school.  
An independent grid using the Kitely organization system.

A separate grid.  Managed by an organization.  Separate login page, with information about the organization, not about a grid.  But all the tech work is handled by Kitely.  And it has some places open to the Hypergrid.

The Kitely organization system

• Why I specifically recommend Kitely for hosting a virtual campus (MUVE)
• Kitely offers themed "grids". Independent websites using Kitely tech but managed by an organization
• Kitely announces virtual campuses for schools (and other organizations): Virtual worlders would say private grids.
• Gathering educational support in OpenSimulator. Scenegate, RezMela™, Kitely Organizations, DTA
• Bring the virtual campus into the school: Kitely custom viewer login page
• Kitely will offer private grids with dedicated login pages
• Who is building a digital teaching assistant? Can just anybody make one?

The online campus

• An online school needs a digital campus. Not just for classrooms, but for many of the services currently offered on a physical campus
• The online campus: Your campus on the internet. Meet fellow students, work with them
• Language learning: What could a virtual (online) campus offer?
• The virtual online campus: Can a grid handle the load of students?
• Online education, sure. But why a virtual campus? Why in a virtual world (MUVE)?
• We can bring schools into OpenSim. Not just people. Whole campuses full of people.
• Teachers don't need to learn how to build in virtual worlds to teach there
• Educational resources for virtual worlds: Free. Universal Campus
• Can you put a high school next to a porno place? Not even in a virtual world. But there are solutions
