I'm speaking at a JISC Services skills event in Oxford next week about how virtual worlds such as Second Life can be used to support events. I plan to do the whole talk in-world, to give the RL audience a better feel for what is possible. I'll be using in-world voice and will provide an in-world copy of my slides. It would be great to have a SL audience as well, particularly if you are willing to offer your views on what is good and bad about virtual world events. I'll allow plenty of time for some RL/SL cross-over discussion at the end. (We'll probably use chat for the discussion part). My talk will be on Thurs 25th Sept and will start at 15.30 and run for about an hour. I'll be in the Virtual Congress Centre on Eduserv Island: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eduserv%20Island/97/41/30 Hope to see you there, Andy -- Head of Development, Eduserv Foundation http://www.eduserv.org.uk/foundation/ http://efoundations.typepad.com/ [log in to unmask] +44 (0)1225 474319 -----Original Message----- From: Windebank, PA (Penny) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 19 September 2008 14:18 To: delegates Subject: JISC Services Skills Event No. 2: Illuminating Event Management Dear All, This message is to confirm your registration to the JISC Services Skills Event in Oxford next Thursday 25th.
