Imagine RIT Festival May 3rd 2008 – The Online Social Network Classroom

Sue Barnes and I have been chosen to represent respective colleges as part of the Gordon Field house 'WOW' display at the upcoming Imagine Rit Innovation and Creativity Festival on May 3rd. We will be showing off the results of our research on online socially networked classrooms. In particular we will be showcasing our class Online Advertising Class that was taught in and on popular virtual world Second Life. On hand will be a number of 'image consultants' – former students of ours that have expertise in managing online profiles. They will consult with members of the public interested in protecting and enhancing their online self image. Sue and I are really looking forward to showing off what was an amazing experience in Second Life and we hope to see you there.
