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".

Notice 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! We have here the opportunity 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 below, your own reviews of locations of interest, of other university and college presences, of gadgets you have tried, etc.
