VWBPE 2023: Uncommon Realities

March 23-25, 2023

Volunteers

Would you like to be an essential part of educational innovation?

Do you want to do something that is satisfying and of service to the virtual world educational community?

VWBPE volunteers come from many different walks of life and professional backgrounds, all dedicated to promoting applications of virtual worlds in education. Those in academia will find that Service to the Community is a fundamental requirement of most college and university tenure bound educational professionals. VWBPE is an internationally recognized conference that provides opportunities to gain service experience and some scholarship as part of your involvement. Join our Volunteer Team for personal satisfaction, to support the Virtual World Educational community, and get valuable experience for yearly reviews, promotion, and advancement, if you are an educator. Use the volunteer signup form found at the bottom of this page.

Service

Scholarship

Peer Reviewers help with the review of proposals. They recommend acceptance and propose changes to proposals to help keep all content in line with VWBPE goals and objectives.

Hosts help with greeting and directing attendees to the conference venues. As the most visible members of the volunteer team, they are found in various locations of the conference, distributing information and materials to attendees.

Teaching

Mentors help provide presenters and attendees with understanding the VWBPE conference layout, how to access the different areas of the conference, and help with technical concerns.

Technical

Technical Support will assist Mentors and Presenters, as needed, with any technical concerns or logistical issues. They are liaisons with Estate Managers when issues arise on the parcel.

Stream Team members help with A/V Streaming in SL, along with recording and editing streaming of other workshops throughout the conference.

Quadrivium Assistants help by introducing the Quadrivium Facilitator, capturing the text chat for Facilitator, keeping track of time and helping with technical problems, as needed.

More detailed information about the responsibilities of each role is found on the Volunteer Role Details page.
