It was in April 2008 when our Head of the Department asked us to develop specifications of our department's presence in Second Life. We searched for literature sources but the key papers or pointers came from our very generous colleagues on the SLED List. The papers, particularly, Jennings and Collins, 2007, offered useful insights in terms of how the learning spaces in Second Life are designed but there weren't any papers or reports that captured experiences of students, educators and designers Or any guidelines - eg do's and dont's of how learning spaces should be designed… So the question that we started with in our research is: How should 3D learning spaces be designed for learner engagement?

stats for your SL sim

Thursday, February 25, 2010By justinccHi folks.  Just a brief blog post to remind people to take care when experimenting with Linden Lab's Beta Second Life Viewer 2 with the current OpenSim builds.  I've seen mixed reports of how well it works with OpenSim at the moment (some people seem to suffer a crash almost immediately while others seem to be able to use it to some extent). However, according to John Hurliman the version of the OpenMetaverse library currently being used by OpenSim has a problem dealing with at least one of the new inventory packets in the 2.0 Viewer.  This means that it's not impossible that using the viewer with OpenSim today could inadvertently destroy some of your inventory items.

PiratePad is based on EtherPad (Swedish Pirate Party)

Again, can your note explain how we can use for/in SL? Is this to do with the new viewer capabilities? Thanks!
