On 16 December, Vice-Chancellor Martin Bean used his own avatar to give a presentation in Second Life. The talk, A Journey in Innovation, was given on Open University island and is thought to be the first in-world address by a UK university VC. The event was chaired by Claudia L'Amoreaux (aka Claudia Linden), Education Programmes Manager for Linden Lab, who facilitated a question and answer session.
Martin enjoyed his first visit to Second Life, and was also pleased to open the new Access Centre building on Open University Island, providing new reaches for the Accessibility team (see http://www.open.ac.uk/access-centre/ ). The virtual Access Centre should be fully functioning early in 2010.
