Class: M M 333 – Introduction to Field Research in Virtual Worlds / M M 444 – Virtual World Field Research Methods
Description: Over two courses, an interim and a full semester, a small group of us dissected the virtual world Second Life to tease out how residents form community with each other. After using the interim to find a group, Jes Schreoder and I spent a semester training as geisha. Our process can be viewed on my blog.
