New Media Consortium to Open SL Campus
The Electric Sheep Company (anchor sponsor of this blog) sends word of the grand opening of the New Media Consortium’s campus in Second Life (built by the Sheep), which is slated for this Thursday, April 20, from 4:00-10:00pm Eastern time. The NMC bills itself as “a not-for-profit consortium of nearly 200 leading colleges, universities, museums, corporations, and other learning-focused organizations dedicated to the exploration and use of new media and new technologies.” Events will include building demonstrations, dance parties, an Electric Sheep Q&A panel and tours of NMC’s island. Space is limited, so to reserve a spot, send an email with your SL name to johnson [AT] nmc [DOT] org or send an in-world IM to Larry Pixel or Ninmah Ash. A TeamSpeak server is also being set up to support the event in voice. [UPDATE: Grab this PDF for more details.]
