Welcome to the premier of J Sargent Reynolds Community College Virtual Conference 2012! This year, we have decided to move out of our LMS (Blackboard) to bring you a true virtual experience. After review of a number of virtual environments, we have chosen AvayaLive Engage. You can check out their demo online for a preview at: AvayaLive Engage. You will need to have administrator rights on your computer for the first visit to install the applet.
This new environment has already received some buzz with inquiries from as far away as New Mexico! However, our first priority is the dedicated faculty at JSRCC and our colleagues in the Virginia Community College System. If you meet others in the environment from around the country, please say hello. Those avitars represent the thoughts, feelings, actions, and voices of real people! If you are looking for me in the virtual enviornment, I will be wearing a red blazer (Roll Tide!) and looking much younger than normal (it's not my fault; the environment does have limitations). :)
More information will be coming through your email in the near future. Be prepared to register, participate, and present. Remember, the success of the Virtual Conference depends on you!
I look forward to seeing you all there!
Patrick Whitaker
