The Evolution of the Internet: Using ‘Virtual Worlds’
Originally uploaded by SUNY Cortland Memorial Library.
Friday, May 4th at 4:00 p.m. in the library conference room, the Friends of the Library is sponsoring a presentation by Bret Ingerman, Vice President for Computing and Information Services at Vassar College, “The Evolution of the Internet: Using ‘Virtual Worlds’ to Enhance Teaching, Learning, and Scholarly Research.” This session will examine the various technologies that have converged to make virtual worlds a viable platform for exploration. You will experience these environments first hand, see how they are being used for education, explore how easily the environment can be changed to suit essentially any need, and discuss the potential for this technology in your own teaching and research. No prior experience is necessary to attend the presentation: all that is needed is inquisitiveness. (If you have any questions regarding this event, please contact Dan Harms in the library at harmsd@cortland.edu or Ext. 4042.)
