Abstract:
This talk will begin with a brief introduction to the online game, Second Life. Launched in June 2003, Second Life consists of an online virtual world that currently boasts 18 million registered user accounts. Following a brief introduction to this popular game, the presenters will visit MnSCU island within the world of Second Life and meet with the island's administrator, Magdelena Wesley. From there, they'll take you on a series of virtual field trips. They'll visit a schizophrenia simulation, German language sims, the Sistene Chapel, one or more science sims, and religious/cultural sims. If there is time, they'll visit more simulations based on the audience's interests.
