Megan Rutherford has been contributing articles to Maxping for a few months now and we thought it only fitting for Megan to tell us a little bit more about herself.
Megan Rutherford has been publishing
articles in Maxping for a while - and maybe some readers are
interested: who is that girl.
We asked Megan to give us a brief
introduction to herself - here it comes.
I often spend my days standing at the
crossroads of virtual worlds and social media. Some at Visual
Purple (www.visualpurple.com)
consider me the resident guru for both. In reality, we have
some dangerously bright people in both worlds; sometimes I enjoy
the high ground by not being too technical, if you get my drift. My
daily responsibilities include immersing myself in a host of
virtual world applications and getting my hands dirty by often
being co-opted in the design process of Visual Purple's innovative
virtual world training products. Although virtual worlds are my
primary focus I am also actively involved in social media and
exploring how we can incorporate such into active learning and
training. I utilize a host of virtual world platforms and enjoy
seeing the latest technologies coming on line - having a drive for
adventure when it comes to training and learning in 3D worlds sure
doesn't hurt! Areas of expertise include virtual worlds,
social media, marketing and public relations. While not immersed in
virtual worlds (and social media), my spare time is spent ranching
and shooting things, i.e., photography.

Maxping says:
Having a degree in marketing she made
her way via Visual Purple´s Decision Based Training product
line. Having that RL-based economic background, she learned about
all types of training systems and even got even involveld in
product design questions - she likes to wear many hats, as she
said. Besides the "pure" technological visionists, tech and
programming authors we have on board - Megan adds not only social
media knowledge but business perspective, as well.
