The fourth League of Worlds conference has been taking place this week in Karlskrona, Sweden. Identity seems to have emerged as a theme running through many of the presentations, which presumably means that (among a small, self-selecting group, at least) it s currently a leading concern.

Yesterday I made a presentation entitled Augmentation, Immersion and Identity in Rosario: the trading card game, and the slide show is available at Zoho, or here:

The slideshows on this page are embedded using Zoho’s code fragment. The slides are also available in an unembedded for from Zoho’s site. Should you want to access this slideshow from somewhere else on the web, you will find it at this url: http://show.zoho.com/public/owen/LoW4

Today Jutta made a presentation which only contradicted mine a little. Her slide show is also available on Zoho (of course), and here:

Jutta’s slideshow is available from this url: http://show.zoho.com/public/jutta/marinetta_low_2007

This is the first time that we have used Zoho for the entire process.

My slide show was created in Zoho, and I presented it from there when I did my turn. Two interesting points emerged. Firstly nobody, except those people who already knew about Zoho, noticed that I wasn’t using Powerpoint. In other words it performed perfectly, despite the fact that I was using a wireless connection. Secondly, several presenters have had difficulty with their slides as they moved them from computer to computer. Jutta and I did not have this problem, because our slides lived in the cloud the whole time.

And they still do.
