Minerva 64, 82, 30

A perfect blue sky, a tree weathered by the wind, a few pillows and an equivalent number of sitballs. That is all you need to create a group meeting point, a meditation area or a ground for play, discours, a lecture, silence. Ellie did well building this space. Less is more in SL, I think. Her new course starts this month in SL. Students will attend online classes twice a week, and complete coursework on an accompanying website.

Echoditto Island 85/175/28

Amongst professors. We were sitting there, all more or less dominated by our chairs in our movements. Scripting does that: it tells you how to act in a chair once seated in it. The other side is that three of kind discussed the chances we get in SL for changing the educational paradigm. We will have a presentation of our ideas together soon, no doubt! Big stuff, ordinary chairs. Rlife, Slife, we 'll see.

Ohio University 20/36/24

Friends, it is now 19.30 GMT +1 and I am going to visit Ohio University. There should be students at this time. I wondered around a bit, saw one person that didn't seem to know what was going on either. I found myself an empty office on the first floor, good seat, some books, a decent table and a telephone. The clocked ticked the time away, it was 09.13. A very nice building, typically made for teaching in groups, nice equipment but nobody there. I will be back some time.
