Welcome to the vortiCISM wiki


What is 'vortiCISM'? a rather dreadful acronym for "virtual opportunities for research and teaching in (the faculty of) Computing, Information Systems, and Mathematics", and undoubtedly an indicator of my feeble-mindedness that it was the best I could come up with. This is, however, a site with very serious purpose ... please read on ...

vortiCISM! - vortiCISMNotice to students: this wiki complements, and should be used in tandem with, the vortiCISM blog and the Desktop VR teaching hub for the Level 6 Virtual Reality module in Faculty of Computing, Information Systems, and Mathematics of Kingston University.

This is how we shall use the three web sites: the Desktop VR blog will contain all the core information, including the syllabus and non-SL learning materials, relating to the course; the vortiCISM blog documents the Faculty's and the university's endeavours in creating a teaching and learning environment in Second Life.

And this wiki? this is YOUR area! The Project Repository is where you will deposit an electronic copy of your project report, as well as (should you choose to do so) a video walkthrough of your work. 'Course Feedback' is where you have the opportunity to post feedback at the end of the course.

And, finally, I would also encourage you to use the opportunity to contribute reviews in the Review section--this is a chance for YOU to participate in the construction of an encyclopedic resource of valuable information relating to Second Life both in general and specifically as a platform for learning. I would ask you to add, in the categories in the Review section, your own reviews of locations of interest, of other university and college presences, of gadgets you have tried, etc.

Where is our assignment? I can't find it in your maze of websites and hyperlinks. It is very frustrating to navigate your multiple websites overloaded with information; could you possibly put it on blackboard like every other module does?
