Speaking at the GDC 2007 Academic Workshop

Now that the GDC 2007 Academic Workshop has been officially announced, I'd like to mention the awesome news that I will be speaking as a part of the event. That's right -- I'm actually going to GDC for the first time this year and I'll be speaking!

Suffice it to say, I'm very excited about it. My understanding is that I'll be talking about our (the IGDA Education Special Interest Group) wiki-driven curriculum knowledge base initiative, but it's apparent that the exact structure and content of the event is far from fleshed out (and probably will be so until the day before).

I hope to post more about our wiki KB initiative(s) in the near future. My work with the EduSIG has been my main focus lately. I've been learning a lot about how Wikipedia runs its initiatives and organizes its authors (when it does) and I'll be trying to reflect on the lessons they've learned to help us succeed with the IGDA wiki.
