New Video, Incubator & Professional Presentations

I created a new video of the island and it shows the project in its latest and most mature condition. This fall I am presenting our project at two professional conferences. The first conference is ASBDC which is the Association of Small Business Development Centers. The other is AECT which is the Association for Educational Communications and Technology.

The latter presentation will present an idea I am currently designing and that is a virtual world business incubator. The program will be based upon a dual-track curriculum I will instructionally design in 2011. The curriculum tracks will be teaching how to launch and eCommerce website and, how to create a presence in Second Life, to post the same products you have on your website, on a specific parcel of land at Wyoming Entrepreneur Island (vCommerce).

Should be an interesting project. I am proposing to my doctoral committee that the instructional design be my general exam. We'll see what they say...
