SUMMARY:Caledon Oxbridge University (COU)
DESCRIPTION:Caledon Oxbridge University (COU)\, established in January 2009\, is an inworld teaching center focused on Second Life™ Skills COU is located in the Steampunk-Victorian estate of Caledon but is operated independently (i.e. COU is a tenant organization). COU is kept above the waves entirely by community support. COU is a general-rated\, homestead. Apart from the general-rating\, no particular dress-code is enforced. Rules are enforced to maintain a safe space with priority given to teaching and learning. COU has seasonal decorations\, currently including an ice-rink and free skates. \nThe self-paced tutorial at Caledon Oxbridge starts in the introduction building with a circle of kiosks explaining the basics of Second Life and setting forth COU’s rules. On exiting this building\, one is in the central plaza\, where there often are live “tutors” to answer questions and provide help. The COU lecture hall\, where walk-in classes are held\, is also in this area. On the far side of the plaza\, the tutorial continues through six “Colleges”: Avatar Motion\, Camera Control\, Communication\, Finding\, Avatar Customization\, and Money & Commerce. \nOther buildings on the Caledon Oxbridge region include: Hall of Caledon (where the Caledon Quest beings)\, Café Vox and the Oxbridge shop\, the Oxbridge Train Station (and freebie center)\, the Caledon Air Transport Station (CATS)\, and the Oxbridge branch of the Caledon Library System. \nJust over the border in the Caledon Oxbridge Village region\, are the overflow Chat Circle\, a seasonal ice rink\, and the pub. \nA field trip with Keith Grant\, Ph.D  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNote: This region has limited access (20)\, be on time.

SUMMARY:Educare Update
DESCRIPTION:Educare Update\nVirtual World learning is now pinging louder on the radar of academic administrators. Talk of the Metaverse may have confounded the issue\, but the benefits of immersive experience are proven. The Educare region provides a gentle first-time orientation for newcomers (and hesitant returnees) to explore VW education possibilities. For this ‘tour’ please land at the Orientation Dome\, give it a quick walk-through\, then climb the stairs to the large lit Auditorium above. Throughout your visit\, please try the perspective of a first-time VW visitor as you assess Educare region resources and rides.\nWelcome! \nDr. Steven R. Van Hook has taught mixed-format courses in cross-cultural communications and global affairs for the University of California and other universities in the United States and abroad. He’s been a newspaper columnist\, radio talk show host\, TV news anchor\, and television bureau chief in Moscow covering the fall of the Soviet Union. He has directed international public education campaigns through the United States Agency for International Development.
