State of Play Academy experiment
State of Play Academy, New York Law School's new virtual world law teaching academy, beta launched last week. Building on the experience of the annual State of Play conference that brings together technologists, lawyers, social scientists and other professionals to discuss virtual worlds, State of Play Academy will continue that interdisciplinary conversation online and throughout the year.
Their aim is to: 1) democratize law teaching by making it available to an open audience; and 2) understand how teaching and learning can most effectively be done within a three-dimensional, immersive and social online environment.
They're having 45-minute 'test' classes each Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30PM PST/8:30PM EST, and you are urged to join.
It's happening in There. You can download There for free. To be voice-enabled, you'll need to pay a one-time fee to There and have a microphone. If you need help getting set up, write to State of Play Academy Dean Lauren Gelman at gelman AT stanford DOT edu.
I'd be there in There if it wasn't for this, and I'll be in There when that “this” is over.
Thanks to Beth Noveck.
