Second Life Education Research

It’s official. In May I will begin a new position as the Director of Emerging Technologies (great title, huh?) at Media Sauce in Indianapolis.

Media Sauce is a fantastically hip multi-media marketing company. As Director of Emerging Technologies I will be responsible for researching and creating “the next big thing” in multi-media content delivery and creation. I’ll be focusing on participatory technologies that put the consumer/producer/audience in the driver’s seat.

In addition to research in new technologies I’ll also be focusing on innovative ways to apply existing methods. Second Life and other immersive spaces, social networking, and participatory media models. I’ll also be hitting the road to talk to folks about this new model of marketing and training and writing white papers about the research we conduct.

It’s my dream job and I’m ecstatic about it! I’ll still be cranking away at the dissertation and teaching a class here and there as well.

Stay tuned for news about research and other projects. Also *blatant plug here* if you’re in need of a well developed Second Life space or you’d like to discuss another project drop me a line at my new email address sarah dot robbins at mediasauce dot com. I’m excited to harness the creative energies at Media Sauce and aim them at Second Life. We’re going to be up to some super innovative stuff so keep an eye out for us.
