the one hundred and forty-seventh episode of ventriloquy presents my main takeaways from two conferences i attend over the past few days - both were loosely on the theme of virtual worlds.
the earlier was the vBusiness Expo organised by Clever Zebra, and took place entirely in-world.
the second was the International Workshop on Interactive & Digital Media (IDM) research, organised by the Nanyang Technological University (NTU). the event was held on campus in Singapore.
please do join me in this 4.1 MB download, as i ponder - inter alia - the relationship between culture and the design of learning environments in Second Life.
Show notes:
- the NTU Institute for Media Innovation
- the iDM Jump-start and Mentor (iJAM) initiative from the IDM Programme Office, hosted by the Media Development Authority of Singapore
- Computer Games, Multimedia and Allied Technology (CGAT '08) international conference and industry symposium on computer games, animation, multimedia, IPTV & edutainment
- the IDM Programme Office's Co-Space environment
