The movie covers the work of SJSU SLIS faculty who are present in Second Life. This machinima was created in Second Life using the built in capture tool and edited in iMovie. Thanks to HVX Silverstar and the Machinima Institute for your help and advice.

Introducing the Avatars of San Jose State University
School of Library and Information Science
By
Adrianna Lukasiewicz, M.L.I.S. Candidate

Jeremy Kapumbo
He keeps the official wiki for educators using the Second Life immersive environment — www.simteach.com. His instructional technology project connecting Moodle and Second Life has attracted hundreds of participants from around the world — www.sloodle.com.

Foxfish Falta
is taking advantage of the simulation and constructive learning experiences
enabled by Second Life. She is bringing her LIBR 285 Research Methods students
to the virtual world. They will practice semi-structured interview and
participant action techniques in an easily accessible heterogeneous
environment.

Rathlin Zeno
She was the first SLIS administrator in the nation to enter Second Life with a full island. She used funds from a Soros Foundation grant and sent in several students to SL on a research section. She is in the process of having
an office built and creating an outreach center.

Bela Courier
Last semester she offered meetings in Second Life to her students. She plans to bring more students to SL campus in the coming semester to discuss and implement effective learning activities.

Greylin Fairweather
She has been working on
making the SJSU SLIS campus user friendly through the SLIS Guide
Program, instructional videos, campus infrastructure development and various
other projects. Robin heads Dr. Loertscher's Knowville 3D project and is
working to bring it into the teen grid.

Faculty at SJSU are working hard, but SL can be fun, too. Librarians have set up a club called TX950 playing fun dance favorites. Jeremy Kapumbo and others have been seen there dancing the night away.
