Hello All,
My colleague and I are Teaching Fellows with the Centre for Open Learning in Math's, Science, Computing and Technology CETL at the Open University. We have a research island in Second Life (Cetlment) that we are actively using and developing for teaching and learning, plus investigating the exciting possibilities afforded by integrating with Moodle (re the Sloodle project below) - would be happy to show anyone around in-world on an informal basis. Anyone interested in SL might also like to look at schome.ac.uk, another OU project that has a SL island and is doing a lot of work on educating in virtual worlds.
Our SL names are Elsa Dickins (me) and Jacquie Sholokov (Jacquie Bennett) - feel free to IM one of us in-world or email me off-list.
Regards,
Anna Peachey
Open University

There has been some discussion about Second Life on the Champs list.
Barry Spencer, Bromley College, is doing some remarkable work with Second Life to support teaching and learning. He's bought himself an Island and invited people to join him. If you're interested, he's facilitating a Strand of our LEON conference starting Monday. Please give me a call (0787 962 0421) if you'd like to be included, or send me a booking form which you can get from our website:
http://www.rsc-london.ac.uk/1077/
If you don't have access to the Champs list, or haven't seen Second Life, take a look at this video posted on YouTube:
