Final Second Life Meeting: Sunday, July 27th, 2008
the 7 student project groups gave outstanding multimedia presentations on their work
students were asked to briefly introduce their project goals/objectives and outcomes and then discuss their answer to their choice of the following three questions:
- Your project may introduce a change to the way in which the nonprofit engages in outreach. In order for your project to be sustainable, what do you foresee will need to happen within the nonprofit?
- How does your project leverage and create a richer learning experience that encourages positive behavioral change for your specific target population?
- How did your project take into account the culture of the target population, its natural resources (i.e., word of mouth, family hierarchy, bilingualism, tightly-knit communities, etc.) and differential access to connectivity?
