Second Life Assignment Has Life of Its Own

If you have been following the Second Life class I have been conducting this summer you know that one of the assignments is to create a Machinimia Project explaining some part of Second Life. The complete assignment can be found on the Assignment Page of the MSIT Second Life wiki.

One student has already completed the assignment and created a Machinimia and posted it on YouTube (having some issues with TeacherTube, however, trouble loading) and then, in the true spirit of Web 2.0, he got an interesting message about his video.

I’m from the SL Newspaper and I just want to let you know that I came across your movie on YouTube.com (about LSL) and that we put it in our paper… Great tutorial by the way. Are you planning on making more of these tutorials? Thanks …

What a great example of the power of Web 2.0 for sharing information…information that, without the web, would have been stuck in the walls of academia never to be seen by anyone else but with YouTube, blogs and wikis, the knowledge can be shared. Here is a view of the video.
