Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
Are we expanding into FB and Twitter to get more people involved?<br />

I don't think we really established any guidelines. I am re-reading the typlogy. Very helpful

Twine is also another good option as it tracks people, places, etc.<br />
<br />
Here is an example of one i started for use with faculty using SL:<br />

I actually have a different question (accessibility).<br />
<br />
<br />
What happens if you have an audience (students) who are only equipped with a netbook? Do any of the platforms, including Second Life, run on them? I know that there are probably labs on campus with installed SL (there are at UM), however, if students or faculty are sick or at home working, how would that work?<br />
<br />
<br />
Typology ...more notes...<br />

Can we attach examples for each typology? I am sure that there are plenty from your campus. I think…

Can we attach examples for each typology? I am sure that there are plenty from your campus. I think that if we pick one or two for each point, it would be helpful.<br />
<br />
What are your thoughts?<br />

In regards to a demonstration, we have a SL guru here on campus who often leads Brownbag presentations about SL (anything from demonstrating a Halloween to a Health education site).

It can certainly be cross-listed in other areas, but I would think it would be best to cross-list the item in the discipline to which it belongs. We're a long way from there right now, but we can certainly talk about it.

This is a good point. I like the typology. I would concentrate on Second Life as an example, because it seems to be the "platform of choice," so far, for many schools. Further, these types are indicating<b>educational use</b>, and, therefore, apply across the board regardless of the game used.<br />
<br />
Cathy, I think to link us to the "Academic Support" because that's where it might fall, given that this is, as you note, interdisclinary...perhaps we could add" instructional development"?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Good suggestion, Jonathon. At the moment we are limited to two sub-categories in a topic. Because it is multi-disciplinary, I assume Virtual Worlds would fall into the Academic Support Services area, like Library and Faculty Development. As per your suggestion above, the typology would be as follows:<br />
<br />
Academic Support Services<br />
Second Life<br />
Learning Engagement<br />

I'm assuming the resource would also be cross listed in the specific discipline, i.e. Health Sciences, Biology, etc. If, in the future we get a lot of materials in Biology, then we could add the discipline sub-category where relevant.<br />
<br />
The issues of audience and language are in the metadata. When one submits the material you are asked the language, audience, etc.<br />

Hi Cathy! ... and thanks again for setting up our Taskforce Conference call today! I thought our inaugural discussion went very well! Following, I had a good talk with Sorel Reisman, managing director of MERLOT and he was very happy also to hear of our progress.<br />

Re: the Typology of Virtual Worlds, can we have multiple dimensions? Platform, Learning Engagement, Discipline, & some of the general Merlot Learning Descriptors (audience, format, language)? So the question format might start with the platform, then go on to Learning Engagement with its sub-menu's, then discipline and its sub-menu's and so on.<br />

Another tool that I thought perhaps useful to CLIVE is Diigo: <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/merlotclive" target="_blank">http://groups.diigo.com/group/merlotclive</a> ... there are a LOT of websites, as you can imagine, on the use of virtual worlds - and many also that fortify/supplement the use of virtual learning experiences. The tags and development of this collection is not well developed - as I've primarily used it as a "holding tank" for sites I've found of possible use for the development of CLIVE. Please add, comment, and re-tag as appropriate!<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
