'Second Life' Creator Linden Lab Cuts Staff By 30 Percent

Posted by: Jonena Relth, President and Leadership Evangelist of TBD Consulting, Inc.

Linden Labs is laying off 30% of their workforce but with the "positive spin" that by doing so they will improve the customer experience. 

"Today's announcement about our reorganization will help us make Second Life even simpler, more enjoyable, relevant and engaging for consumers starting with their first experience. It will also enable us to invest in bringing 3D to the web and will strengthen our profitability."

PC Lab Magazine, Brian Heater, Chloe Albanesius  - http://tinyurl.com/36g42ne

As the owner of Learning Innovation Campus, I'm curious how Linden Labs thinks they can provide us more with less. This move is ominous at best. More of this story to come, for sure.  Jonena

We look forward to exciting activities, events, musical performances, machinima screenings, panels, workshops, and much more to share the abundant creativity of Second Life residents. But the convention is more than just what we plan – the convention is also what you make it, so plan to bring something to share with the community! If you're interested in helping and plan to attend the convention, volunteers are needed to help us organize on the ground in Boston, and we also encourage you to submit a proposal, become a sponsor, or volunteer to become a Track Leader! If you won't be able to attend in Boston, you can still volunteer to help with SLCC in-world. Thanks for all your support and we look forward to a terrific convention this year.

Education - Not Afraid of Second Life

Posted by:  Jonena Relth, President and Leadership Evangelist, TBD Consulting, Inc. Jonenal Revnik in Second Life 

 

This informative video talks about some creative ways educators are improving student performance using Second Life.  In my opinion, more than just Universities should be using Second Life (Teen version for under 18) to enhance the learning experience of students, improve grade scores and long-term retention.  

 

Take a look and let me know what you think!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmSEF-ntdOw 

 

Please check us out at Learning Innovation Campus.  The whole purpose of the island is to offer a safe, learning environment for people to learn new skills and grow together.  We rent office and conference space for public and private companies/individuals who wish to collaborate.  Give me a call to see how your organization can benefit from joining our learning community.  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Learning%20Innovation/128/148/24
