The Islands of jokaydia in Second Life

The Island of jokaydia in Second Life was established in 2007 and hosted a range of rental spaces and community resources for users interested in exploring virtual worlds for education, arts and social change.

The Island of jokaydia was designed to provide an appealing, community-oriented ambiance that encouraged collaboration and sharing. We hosted informal and formal events including workshops, demonstrations and unconferences.

The Islands of jokaydia were also the Second Life home of the jokaydia Community of Practice, which has been collaborating in virtual worlds since 2006.

A number of organisations were part of our rental community including:

• Charles Sturt University – School of Information Studies Campus
• Federal Reserve Bank of Boston Virtual Exhibition Space
• Macquarie University
• The Online Therapy Institute
• School Library Association of NSW
• Swinburne University of Technology.
