Andy Powell: why we funded virtual world stuff
This week’s Start The Week with Virtual World Watch podcast interviewee is Andy Powell.
For historical context, Virtual World Watch was a work colleague of Andy’s from the mid-1990′s at UKOLN (VWW: back row 3rd; Andy: back row 6th).
Andy is now the Head of Development of the Eduserv Research Programme, formerly the Eduserv Foundation. The Foundation funded a number of Second Life and Virtual World research and development projects, as well as Virtual World Watch, an island and several events.
Research Programme / Foundation activities with virtual worlds are described and archived on their website.
In Second Life, and also blogging, Andy is Art Fossett where he has an occasional sideline in making footwear. On twitter, Andy is andypowe11.
