- 5. What happened? Join Second Life Virtual rock star Live video streaming Machinima Buy lots of computers 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009
- 7. Strengths Leverage video game look Go places, recreate events, and use characters, actions and equipment that are challenging to create in real-life Cost effective and re-usable Example (30 min. script) 6 buildings = $42 8 Office sets and props = $37 15 characters (skin, hair, clothes, props) = $60 Total Spend = $163.00
- 8. Weaknesses Controlling the environment – UFP’s Challenging to portray subtle emotional content Simulation media project complexity High learning curve for tools and process
- 9. Opportunities Enhanced scenario based instruction Simulate classroom situations Assess via faculty participation Internal staff development in virtual worlds Course Developers Interactive Designers SME’s Collaboration with 3 rd party vendors Production of more complex scenarios New outsourcing models Mixed media approaches Live video + machinima Interactive + machinima Branching scenario + machinima Live role play in Second Life Actor Avatar
