[Air-L] Second Life real-time streaming presentation question

[Jeremy Hunsinger]

In general terms, if you have not yet done this, doing it for a major  
presentation is not a good place to start.  Good presentations and  
online interaction takes quite a bit to pull off, I've been involved  
with some of the biggest one location events in SL like the Creative  
Commons transition, and the reason it was successful was because of  
the preparedness.   I've done 8 or 10 in world/out of world situations  
for major events.

as for locations, there are innumerable possible locations.  you could  
probably borrow just about anyone's medical school location or other  
material if you contacted them first.  but you'd need to know who,  
what, where, when and how.

In short, many people think that it is easy to do this and it is, but  
then again to do it very well, it is not that easy.  I'd suggest  
contacting someone on the SL education list

  for assistance, there are many medical educators there that would be  
happy to help you through the motions.
