#mscidel What is the role of synchronicity for feeling presence and/or embodiment? And welcome @captechONLINE (she said asynchronously!)
I have just set up TweetDeck #mscidel
@batate I think Guy's Hospital in London uses it as well in training med staff in emergency situations. #mscidel
interface that groups discussion 3D information environment. Then no need for replicating reality other than for specific training #mscidel
In my opinion discussion at it's best is very often not structured - I would like to see a less linear twitter interface #mscidel
@RemmdeVroome #mscidel We specifically use SL for collaboration and emergency response ops centres and training exercises
@batate What benefits have U found in using OpenSim & SAL in pedagogy? #mscidel
@batate At this stage, I agree . Good to experience for oneself tho. #mscidel
#mscidel @cbglasgow OpenSim is just a server end of a virtual world setup like Second Life. It can be used via same viewer as SL
@batate #mscidel Yes I think that is exactly how I feel about twitter
#mscidel I think Twitter has its place as a general status overview tool, but not for any kind of structured discussion in a group
@cbglasgow Yes. It'll be really interesting to explore this further. Looking fwd to doing the reading to se what comes up. #mscidel
#mscidel Twitter shortened URLs also I feel reduce the context and act as a semantic barrier to sharing information
RT @mafrado: #mscidel Looking forward to next week too. Just got home and reading the tweets. A very interesting discussion.
Really looking forward to a fortnight of discussing virtual worlds and learning, identity, presence etc in #secondlife with #mscidel !
@batate @metaself Yes, the 'blend' gives you a full range of ways how to stimulate people and overcome the absences in class. #mscidel
@CMSinclair We're at early stages, which will become laughable with the advance of telepresence. Even Dreyfus admits some potential #mscidel
@metaself #mscidel I am positive about online learning and environs...but mixed reality is best... and can take us beyond Dreyfus level 3
@cmsinclair maybe just learning ? #mscidel but very exiting!
@metaself #mscidel Will we still call it e-learning - or just learning - in our augmented future?
@jam3smac Oh! should have checked it out before question :) #mscidel
