Virtual Learning Village
We are glad to announce the official opening of the Virtual Learning Village. Virtual Learning Village is a non profit virtual 3D platform created by the global Buildwerk Team and other collaborators. This is a private, safe, GDPR-compliant grid built on a lifelong learning model that incorporates knowledge from well-being and brain health research. Think of Virtual Learning Village as designed like a 3D theme park, dedicated to lifelong learning. is a project of the Non Profit Organisation Ageless Mind Project (USA) https://agelessmindproject.org |
Everything that you need to know to create virtual things effectively
I made a neutral page where we publish all the previously internal lists of 3D resources from the old WBH project page, because they are helpful. |

How to write successful group notices...
I often see group notices that are missing some basic informations or make one of the following mistakes:
Your users will miss that event, if they are not logged in at the moment you send the notice. How do I know what you mean by today? Always include a full date. like Fri, February 22.
Newbs will not TP there or end up at another place maybe. Here is how to do it correctly: Think of the 4 Ws: Where: Put an SLURL here. If it is too long create a TinyURL with http://tinyurl.com When: Date and SL time of the event. Do not use terms like “Western time or Eastern time” this will confuse the users from other countries. If you are unsure about the SLT you can look it up by looking up the timezone of San Francisco (US) in web. You can also use an online meetingplaner like http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html Who: Who is holding the event (Full name) . This is the only way to give your users a chance to get in contact with a person who knows about the event. What: What is the event about, does it require any dresscode, preknowledge? Is it public or only for members ? Important: Put the 4 Ws always into the notice body. You can repeat these information in an attached notecard, BUT these notes do not open on click when it is an “old” Groupnotices received offline. The user has to open the group archive and then he can open the attachment. Most users do not do this and so you lose them. Also sometimes Landmarks that are put inside notecards do not open or are difficult for new residents to open. |
