iSocial Prototype Walkthrough

I took a few minutes today to put together a brief introductory video of our prototype iSocial learning environment. We will be conducting trials with this learning environment beginning this Friday. This represents three months of hard work, and we're proud of what we have to show!

Wonderland's World Builder

How did I go from this


to this?


With the Wonderland World Builder of course.

The world builder is a simple browser-based application that makes it possible to create Wonderland worlds. Using a simple drag-and-drop interface, one simply drags tiles onto a 2D grid and positions them. After saving the world, it can be easily accessed from the Wonderland client.

The software itself comes with a set of very functional tiles. It is also possible to create tiles using Blender and the Gimp.

The world builder has been discussed at the Wonderblog.

It would be disingenuous to say that it was easy to set everything up on my development machine. However, the Wonderland Community is refreshingly fast at providing solutions when one gets stuck.
