International conference - May 25, 2007. http://slbestpractices2007.wikispaces.com/SLCN.tv+Archives
Interesting reading as a follow-up to our recent discussions. You can view excerpts from the keynote addresses, which were not produced without technical difficulties. However, these educators (including corporate folks) are moving forward with development on many fronts. Presenters talk to the benefits and challenges of Second Life and its potential as a learning environment. If you have time to listen to one or two speakers, I'd recommend Ken Hudson from Loyalist College and Sarah Robbins (co-author of the forthcoming "Second Life for Dummies" book - "Engagement in Second Life Learning") who both speak about aspects of community and student engagement.
