The UT Second Life presence named one of "The 2009 Ten Best Public Good Projects in the Metaverse". http://bit.ly/8MaWaT
I had the pleasure of being involved with one of the first projects (http://blogs.utexas.edu/triggsrg/ and http://slurl.com/secondlife/Educators%20Coop%206/33/254/1003) in SL at UT that was a precursor to the UT System's being the first state university to enter a persistent online environment as an entire system. 49 islands representing each of the 15 campuses across the state used for instruction, public outreach and experimentation.
The instigator of this grand project was a dear friend Dr Leslie Jarmon who passed away in November. Her tenacity and undying energy and generosity will always be an inspiration.
