The Journey of a Young Entrepreneur:
An innovative idea from Dave Askaripour from MindPetals to build an entrepreneurship university on SecondLife… and create a real business partnership to make it happen…
In light of this SecondLife phenomena and the ever-increasing army of young entrepreneurs popping up all over the globe, I see a golden opportunity to unite the two elements. Something like this has never been done or attempted before.
I am proposing to build an actual Entrepreneurship University on SecondLife. A university that would be on a private island built out of beautiful modern glass and steel, 6 stories high, with an auditorium, low rises, surrounded by a natural landscape with a beautiful park, a plaza for events and entrepreneurial gatherings.
The school would be fully equipped with teaching equipment: large screen TVs, projectors, whiteboards, light furnishings, halls, seats etc…
You may be scratching your head at this point, but the best way to think about it is to image walking into a real university, sitting with a small class of 10 other young entrepreneurs, and learning from a professor who is a real entrepreneur. Imagine all of that, but now imagine doing it all online in virtual setting.
Did you ever take an online course from your college? If you have, you know how boring, non-interactive, and plain they are. Most students take online classes so they can watch TV, talk on the phone, and occasionally chime in on what’s happening on the screen.
That will be changed by providing a ‘virtual’ online class. In a ‘virtual’ classroom setting. Not just a computer screen.
Here are some ways that we can run the classes:
* stream live video across projectors
* use live audio to lecture class
* pull RSS content onto virtual blackboard
* dynamically type notes onto the blackboard
* upload notes, diagrams, charts etc…
