Pulsar Project Headquarters

Pulsar Project Build

marlonj Myers has been working really hard over the last week or two to get his Pulsar Project underway, and I’m very excited to see the new Pulsar Project Headquarters starting to take shape! marlonj has created a really interesting building - with a great open space for meetings and discussions with the students that will joining him inworld soon.

Additional to the ‘bricks and mortar’ in Second Life, marlonj has been doing a great job of recording the whole process via the Pulsar Project Blog and also the HiperGalaxia Moodle space, where he is setting up all his course support materials. You’ll find some fantastic stuff there, including a description of how marlonj made his first book, the management documents he’s creating and a great YouTube video which gives an overview of what marlonj is aiming to achieve (although you’ll need your spanish!).

Most exciting, marlonj has completed the course outline for the pilot course he is about to commence, and has provided it in both Spanish and English, which is a fantastic way of sharing it with all our jokaydia residents.

Congratulations marlonj! I am so impressed with how quickly you have created the Pulsar Project and this growing collection of resources! Please let us know how we can continue to support you and your students! ;)

The Pulsar Project

The Pulsar Project

One of the great things about having more space on the jokaydia Estate is that it gives us the ability to support additional projects. So I’m very happy to announce that one of our wonderful residents marlonj Myers has started a great new project on one of our new little Islands on jokaydia III!

The Pulsar Project: Second Life Tools for Educators is focussed on identifying and locating existing tools that are useful for teachers and students in Second Life, and marlonj will also be creating some new tools, once he’s identified areas of need.

I am really excited about this project, as marlonj brings a wealth of programming skills and experience to the project. He has also agreed to post some blog posts to keep everyone up to date on what he’s up to so stay tuned!
