Material Detail

Within this site you’ll find information about jokaydiaGRID – our OpenSimulator based Virtual World focussed on Education and the Arts. The jokaydiaGrid Project has a number of aims including:

• Providing an engaging educational virtual worlds grid, with a focus on supporting teachers to implement real virtual worlds learning in their classroom
• Developing a rental service for educators and artists who are interested in working in a PG virtual worlds environment
• Exploring ways to ‘multi-grid’ – eg. creating strategies, techniques and best practices for creating presence across a range of virtual worlds, and learning how to best use each environment for and to its best advantage
• Engaging kids in our virtual worlds adventures – the jokaydiaGrid gives us the freedom to create a PG environment which is much more viable for k-12 educational use
• Learning about Opensimulator – we are excited to be joining the opensource virtual worlds community and look forward to both learning about and contributing to the development of opensource virtual worlds options for education
• Developing new 3D educational resources – Leveraging off the flexibility available to us on the opensim platform for public and private delivery (without the scary pricetag!)

… and most importantly to Play! We aim to continue to create a community that learns, inspires, explores and shares!
