Anderson, Librarian and Second Life/ Virtual World observer extraordinaire! A little about Cathy in her own words! "I have worked in Higher Education for 13 years starting out working with those students who were studying to successfully pass the GED. In addition to this I also managed tutoring programs, adult basic education, a library, and testing center. From there I moved on to work in managing student services at a small community college. I coordinated the online education programs and courses for six public universities in an effort to facilitate their successful collaboration and to improve instructional quality. I am currently Vice President of a small technical school. " The decision to interview Cathy was an easy once since Cathy has a body of work on the internet that is incredibly robust and engaging. Her Twitter feed is a garden of wonderful musings to pluck all kinds of new and updated information on Virtual Environments.
