Online Advertising special focus Second Life: BEGINS!!

King Neil!It is with great enthusiasm I can report our class on online advertising - special focus Second Life has begun! The class is maxed at 40 students who all seem very keen to understand the commercial implications of this environment and how we might be better prepared personally post graduation. We have three of the worlds top ten richest avatars presenting as part of the course and a number of in-house experts. Online learning have graciously provided us with funding to secure the help of a dedicated team of Second Life professionals and we have a list of clients in Second Life that are looking forward to working with our students on understanding competition and customers. The eleven week course should be excellent! I will also be blogging my own experiences teaching in this environment for people to follow.

    Wow, did I graduate way too early. Is there class syllabus for this yet? This something I want to keep tabs on.

    RIT needs to buy an island, if they haven’t done so yet!

    This sounds like a lot of fun! I share the same feelings with Shawn. You seem to keep coming up with great new ideas for your courses. What is the role of the dedicated SL professionals? Your avatar’s hair seems a bit longer than I remember it :)
