Survey responses (1/2)• 6 survey respondents
– 4 in the DL field (3 in preservation) and 2 in the information management field
• All attended the online poster session– (not the RL poster session).
• Reactions to poster session have been positive.
• People liked to interact with poster authors to discuss research.
![Page 29: Curatorial Work and Learning in Virtual Environments: A Virtual World Project to Support the NDIIPP Community June 19, 2009 First Workshop on Innovation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649eca5503460f94bd897c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Survey responses (2/2)
• Some posters were more successful due to their design (less text, more images, etc.).– Provide multiple ways to view a poster, such as
link to web page with actual poster
• People are still getting familiar with SL and had trouble with navigation and controls (flying, sitting, IM).– Provide more handy tutorials in SL and outside
• People faced problems with live streaming, SL navigability, and usage due to network issues and computer system capacity.– Offer variety of ways to view video – such as on
the web through YouTube

Select user comments“I'll be back”
“Really exciting to be able to get a taste of the research and chat with other people about their posters. Some posters were more successful than others in this medium, b/c of design.”
“Posters are nicely stitched together for presentation in SL. I would have enjoyed talking to the authors in SL”
“Impressive! I appreciate the signage, the bar, and the IM signs. Had some nice conversations”
“Good collaboration space for synchronous geographically distributed people”
“Yes, let's collaborate with other institutions in SL who have Digital presentations that are relevant and interesting.”
