Please welcome a new group of students to Second Life! Adrienne Massanari, a doctoral student at the University is teaching a new media course that covers MMOs at the University of Washington's Department of Communication. (http://staff.washington.edu/alm2/ com301sp05) Students in the class are being asked to complete a short ethnographic assignment about their experiences in a virtual environment, reflecting on such things as avatar choice, their interactions with others in game, the geography of virtual spaces, etc.
Tell her to save the trip, that is if she can log on... haha.
