SUMMARY:A tour of Chemistry World
DESCRIPTION:A tour of Chemistry World\n          Chemistry World was established as a joint venture between Texas A&M University and the Florida Institute of Technology by Dr. K (Dr. Wendy Keeney-Kennicutt) and Winkelmann Teichmann (Dr. Kurt Winkelman) as part of NSF-funded research to examine the effectiveness of virtual worlds in the teaching of chemistry content. They worked with Xandi Mars and Random Cole\, SL designers who are based in Texas and who work extensively with Texas A&M.  The results of the study were published in the Journal of Chemical Education (see https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jchemed.6b00733). The result is an asset to the chemistry education community in Second Life which supports a realistic teaching environment which includes a laboratory\, a classroom\, offices to meet with TAs/faculty\, and space to “hang out”. In addition there is an area for practicing camera skills\, and a series of platforms which host two laboratory experiments which include an ideal gas law activity and a precipitation titration activity. \n          Amidst the SARS-COVID-2 pandemic in late Spring 2020\, Dr. Shaw assumed management of the region.  The idea was to use its facilities to supplement the lab activities for a freshman chemistry for engineers course\, for which it has been used every semester since Fall 2020. his tour will highlight the facilities built as part of the original study\, and new features such as bioinorganic models\, solid state structures\, and the new Tantramar Marsh restoration area built by Delia Lake. \n                The tour will begin at the Northeast corner of the sim\, where the land connects to the Science Circle region.  \nA tour by Dr. Mike J.

SUMMARY:Science Circle in Open Sim
DESCRIPTION:Science Circle in Open Sim\nYou have probabaly heard of the virtual world platform of Opensimulator or one of its grids like Kitely\, OSGrid\, Craft World\, etc. But\, unless you’ve been prompted to try it out\, it has remained a backdrop to your virtual digital life. However\, many users and schools and companies have found (and helped create) it as a vibrant platform for exploration\, art\, education\, role-play\, and business. Science Circle has had their own grid for almost 10 years now using it for developing science-based learning opportunities. \nYour presenter has also explored Opensim for learning activites. First\, in response to an Intel call for proposals to develop educational experiences\, then transitioned to developing and self hosting the Virtual Islands for Better Education initiative along with several other educators. He was also involved in MOSES\, a military Opensim tranining platform\, and in organzing the Opensimulator Community Conference a couple years. He also enjoyed going on “safari” which were a couple groups that explored Opensim grids for fun. \nThis talk with focus on providing an introduction to Opensim as a platform and the opportunies for virtual engagement. Then focus specifically on the history and content of the Science Circle grid. \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.
