    Linden Research was sued on Tuesday for allegedly hosting a virtual Canal Street on Second Life. This is only tangentially related to the class, but I given that a lot of what we've seen in class covers Second-Life-like environments, I thought it might be good to keep up with what's going on with the actual Second Life.

  • But if companies are to make the most of virtual collaboration, employees will have to learn that what works a bricks-and-mortar workplace may not be right for the virtual world.
  • Another issue is that virtual teams can't take advantage of the kind of impromptu "water cooler" conversations that occur in a real workplace, where colleagues can share information they may have forgotten to communicate in meetings.
  • Kahai says that lack of human contact can also lead to feelings of isolation, but adds that virtual worlds such as Second Life can help by recreating the water-cooler experience.

    What happens to your teen avatar when the plug is pulled on your virtual world?
  • Margaret O'Connell on 02 Sep 10
     
    That looks like a tragedy that's rooted in bad software architecture - having the Teen software be so different from the main Second Life software that it now has to be shut down ... tsk tsk. I hope Linden Labs has learned from this. It was really interesting to learn how this has been used in education (with specifics about hurdles the teachers had to jump to get it into the curriculum).

  • "It was funny because the [preference for Second Life] were in the female group, which means the females found the experience more useful than males; that is really interesting because we are working on a game-based approach and we tend to think that games are for boys and not for girls."

      It would be interesting to investigate what aspects of the experience appealed to females.

  • Wow, just imagine missing school on the day when they were learning blue. You'd spend the rest of your life wondering what color the sky is.
  • Our schools are not failing, they're just succeeding in ways we prefer not to see.
  • the human biological clock is set for two alarms. When the first alarm goes off, at birth, the clock chimes learn, learn, learn, learn, learn. When the second alarm goes off, at the onset of puberty, the clock chimes mate, mate, mate, mate, mate.
