Introductions

Your supervisor:

Hanno Tietgens aka Xon Emoto, the 1-prim-avatar, plus shoes; owner of Büro X and BÜRO X Media Lab Your technical tutor:

Lennart Bolduan aka lennotron


Introductions Please introduce yourself: — What's your real name? — Where do you come from originally? — Where do you do your internship? (company & location) We‘ll do this in voice and text chat: First, I‘ll call on you to answer in voice. Then, please share a short version of your answer in text chat in-world Second Life. Also, share that info in your Moodle profile („Participants“ section) together with your photo.


Introductions.

Update your avatar profile.

Ask Lennart for the HWR Berlin T-Shirt & wear it.

Now let‘s discuss:

What are your expectations for this course?


Course Objectives & Content

— Evaluate your own experiences in a peer group

— Learn to communicate professionally in the work place

— Presenting your case and coaching others

— Communication training & role plays in a group setting

— Feedback check and techniques


Plus, one more thing.

Explore innovative media technology and experience the

avatar as an interaction interface

– for learning and training;

– for culture and entertainment;

– for teamwork and collaboration.

Voluntary activity: If there is time and interest, we could

schedule a field trip to some educational locations in SL.


Your Online Tasks (Second Life)

— Show up every week at 12.15 pm or 7.45 pm CET (Berlin);

if you're able to make the mid-day session: please do!

— Be present when your avatar is online: get up and stretch

when you're in danger of falling asleep (I may nudge you)

— Participate in the discussion both via voice and chat

— Present your internship and participate in our role-plays:

you'll get instructions on how to prepare that via Moodle


Your Offline Tasks (Moodle)

— Write an answer to the weekly question

— Store it in Google drive and post it as a reply in Moodle

— Engage in the Moodle discussions by responding (well)

— Add your presentation, role play scenario and a Post

Mortem review to the Presentation Forum in Moodle

— End-of-term submission of your posts w/short review

— Submit printout of your contributions; deadline tba


Telling stories.

— Which elements comprise a story?

— How do you know if someone is telling a story,

not just giving facts?

— Ask yourself: Have I told a story today (so far)?


Tell a story.

For a start, please tell us:

„Why am I taking the internship I‘m taking?“ (In Voice please, using your headset. Then add in text chat.)

Further reading and other materials to be found each week in Moodle, i.e. this comprehensive text on storytelling in a corporate context by Steve Denning: http://www.stevedenning.com/Business-Narrative/definitions-of-story-and-narrative.aspx


Weekly Question, Forum Posts

When following the assignment to answer the Weekly Question and join the discussion with your fellow students, please have in mind:

Good forum posts are like good blog posts.

— Engaged, focused on the story, with emotional content

— Considered, responding to something (not preaching)

— Qualified, drawing on information outside of your head

Q: Would you recognize these qualities in your everyday work environment?


In-World Presentation

Good presentations tell a STORY, too:

— Engaged, with emotional content

— Considered, showing you've thought about your material

— Qualified, building on accurate, objective information

Beware, PowerPoint-gurus and self–marketing experts:

A good presentation should not merely recount facts, no matter how nice they‘re animated.

Take this opportunity to acquire some experience with storytelling as a method.


In-World Role Play

You'll also get to know a bit about role play as a method.

Role play provides an opportunity for you to try and train the change of perspectives — a very helpful skill once you get to work with others, or lead a team.

It may even help you prepare for a difficult situation:

a discussion coming up, a claim you want to assert, an expectation you can‘t or don't want to meet, a review, etc.

Find a new approach, understand what‘s driving the other, simply said: Make more of your time, and energy.

(More info to be shared in Moodle.)


Important: Confidentiality

Good stories are authentic, too.

There can be no authenticity without openness.

There can be no openness without confidentiality and trust.

— All information shared either in-world (Second Life, Adobe Connect) or via Moodle (password-protected) will remain confidential to course participants only.

What you say here, stays here!

For the same reason: always exercise caution with real information — as a rule, don't use anybody‘s real names. Especially not in writing!


The Tail End: Technology

A FEW WORDS ON OUR TOOLS:


Teaching Tools - Spaces

Auditorium

Groupwork

Feedback

Orientation

The Virtual HWR in Second Life® is divided in different learning spaces —watch http://bit.ly/HWRvideoE for details


Teaching Tools - Auditorium

Auditorium: media wall, viewers for lectures; a stage for role playing; a Google Calendar for in-world events.

The in-world sessions will sometimes begin with a short lecture. Please be on time & save your chats locally. In this space, we will perform role-plays and you will present on your internship experiences to the whole group.

Shared online Calendar

Stage for Role playing


Teaching Tools - Feedback

Feedback offline and online via the Opinionator using prepared and improvised questions & discussion topics

Whenever there's time we'll close the session with a short survey where your avatars can vote with their feet.

You simply walk into the Opinionator and the distribution of votes is shown in the center of the object.


Don't miss the movie!


Rules of Engagement

1. Please choose a topic, set a date and time for your in-world talk and put your name in the Doodle table schedule. Do not remove any data. Putting your name here counts as a commitment. If you can attend (or present) during the lunchtime session, do it.

2. Once you've set a date, get to work: create a presentation, upload it on Slideshare. Send me the link one week before, Saturday night the latest; Lennart helps with tech problems (uploading, presenting etc).

3. After the session, upload a copy of your presentation and your Post Mortem observations from the session role-play into Moodle; add a copy of the presentation, too.

4. At the end of term, print presentation & GDrive file, add a signed cover sheet (we‘ll provide that) and send it all to me at HWR.


Once again: Good Presentations

A good presentation tells a STORY:

!   it is engaged and contains emotional content,

!   it shows that you've thought about your material

!   it tells about events and doesn't just recount facts

Get the facts out of the way quickly. Slides should include:

! Where is your internship (company, country) and what do you do

!   Briefly describe a situation either past or future for a role-play.

You've got 10-12 minutes for the presentation (+10-12 min. roleplay).

Please rehearse your presentation.


Some more: Preparing a Role-Play

Your ROLE-PLAY scenario will build on:

— a situation or scene, related to your Internship work environment and created with your presentation, which involves you as one of the participants and up to three more people

— a goal (something you want/ed to achieve in this scene)

We will call on participants in the session to play the parts indicated by you; we will set the situation up as a role-play of at most 10–12 minutes, and then we'll briefly discuss the results using this process:

!   What did the audience think or feel or observe during the role-play?

!   What did the actors think or feel or observe during the role-play?


Last.

One last thing for your presentation.

If possible, please add a snapshot or two of the location and setting you have in mind for your role play scenario.


Questions?


Next steps

— Post your first answers to our weekly question!

— Schedule your presentation and role play session!

— We need volunteers to kick us off next week!

— Consider to take the lunch-time course (12:15 pm)

Let's go to the Opinionator and vote on the following question: „This is the course that I expected it would be!“


Teaching Tools – Groupwork

Group work: tables; SL group for voice/chat; shared media walls for collaboration (GDocs, Etherpad).

Viewer: instructions

Media: YouTube & Twitter wall

Group tables

Shared media collaboration

We'll try to keep it simple throughout. Don't hesitate to ask questions. And don't be alarmed: after a couple of sessions, you'll feel really at home in your new avatar.


PS: Orientation in 3D – level up.

Orientation: treasure cave, school balloon on-site; guided tour to off-site locations offering interactive experiences

Voluntary activity: Train your avatar by visiting these places on the virtual campus. (If there is enough interest, we might schedule an extra training session with Lennart.)

Fountain: camera control training & fun

Balloon: notecard instructions & simple script control & fun

Cave: movement training & fun


Thank you for your attention.
