PARTNERSHIPS

Initially we will be interested in partnering with anyone interested in getting effective and workable pedagogies off the ground through blue sky research and development. After this phase we will be putting our expertise into making solid practical applications that work for schools, universities and the wider educational and home communities. We will be actively lobbying for mainstreaming these and combating ignorance about the virtual world environment.

If you are an educational professional, organisation or researcher who has some experience of working in distance learning and Second Life and want to partner up in mutually interesting and exciting developments please get in touch by clicking on the SURL above and teleporting to our offices and leaving a calling card or emailing us at the address below.

We believe that part of the personalisation agenda can be met through Virtual Worlds either through Continuous Professional Development for your staff or through visionary strategic management of compelling distance learning. We believe this technology will be mainstream in a few years and our aim is to bring an awareness of the possibilities to full time education - here and now.

BROADCASTING OPPORTUNITIES

We have now started to broadcast from within Second Life in the form of on-demand vodcasting and podcasting. We were one of the first grass roots social educational media companies to the post here and we are always on the lookout for new, highly innovative but effective projects to film and podcast. Please get in touch if you have an idea or project you’d like us to look at or want to sponsor our film season. We have already had a keen interest from partners wanting to sponsor films.

CONFERENCES

We built virtual rooms with podcast and video feeds for the Scottish Learning Festival. We can put Audio, Podcasting Feeds and Video into tailored made secure spaces in Second Life. We are specialists in Video and can tailor content to any space for delegates. Why not have a live feed from your conference straight into Second Life! And get delegates in virtual space from around the world to talk to delegates in real life. Set up a Twitter stream and we can have residents read and respond in world to video and audio on the fly into the real conference and back into the virtual one!

Look at how far we’ve come in 2 years - we can now set up a world conference complete with voice, video and text facilities in 5 minutes! See the video below for our highly immersive environments.
