Wow! Two posts in one day! Aren't you lucky?? :)
Anyway, I thought of adding this to the last post, but it was already (too) long enough as it was, so I thought I'd post a quick update on my other Penn State project this semester. As I noted in an earlier post, I have decided to work on developing a mechanism (process/technology) that will allow Penn State Great Valley Students to become more active as a community in light of the fact that we are adult students and have, for the most part, full time careers and family obligations in addition to our class work. Since, because of our other obligations, most of us generally only spend the six hours of week of class time on campus, I think that finding the appropriate technology to go along with the process that's developed is going to be key since it will allow students to interact (I hope) without physically being on campus. I'm not sure that Second Life is going to work in its current state, but there are a number of other possibilities such as Facebook or even using services from Penn State (did anyone see that this is coming: Penn State Blogs).
This is a work in progress, obviously, and I've just finished (last night, if Dr. J is reading this) the proposal paper for SYSEN 554. I may try to bring it up at the Faculty Senate meeting tomorrow if Dr. J thinks it's ready so we can start gathering volunteers from all of the divisions at GV to start looking at what the process might look like...

Yes! I am aware of the PSU Blog, that's why we use blog in this class. Great way to get message out to everyone. As for SL, I'll give out the list of everyone in the class so we could all tag each other. For a start, why don't you & your group meet up in SL & start exploring together.
