The Universe is About To Change
An unforgivable lapse. All these weeks since my last post. Though it has been a busy few weeks, I’ll try not to let so long a time pass between posts again.
For September and October–in a nutshell: I went to Italy, saw lots of opera, came back and started working on:
- the Academic Continuity class;
- several online course designs;
- course development processes–policies and procedures– appropriate for McDaniel (I’ve uploaded them in the documents section);
- my presentation for the Sloan C Conference.
It’s been a little over a week now since I’ve come back from the Sloan-C Conference in Orlando. It was a terrific conference for me. I saw old friends. It met a number of folks I have long admired. I attended several interesting sessions, two excellent afternoon workshops (one on online program models and another on Second Life), and even got a little bit of attention on my own presentation.
If you have even a vague interest in online learning and/or Virtual Worlds, I hope you’ll take the time to take a look at a condensed version of my Sloan Presentation. I spend a little time talking about the long arc of virtual learning environments, and claim the universe is about to change. I also show a few scenes from McDaniel College’s Second Life campus and talk about where I think we are going and how I think we are going to get there.
