A 2.5 Minute Introduction to Second Life
I discovered and wanted to share a 2.5 minute, straightforward introduction to the basic concept of online, multi-user virtual environments. The short introduction was created by Giff of The Electric Sheep Company for a panel presentation and discussion. It covers all of the highlights I typically try to explain inside of thirty seconds when asked about Second Life by a newcomer, faculty member or administrator.
Also useful from the “We the Sheeple” blog is an offering of a definition of virtual worlds:
A Virtual World is a connected community that has game-like immersion and social media functionality without game-like goals. At it’s heart is a sense of presence with others at the same time and “place”.
