Joint Eduserv/JISC CETIS Meeting
Eduserv and JISC CETIS invite you to a joint one day event to explore the use of Second Life in education to be held at the Institute of Education, London on Thursday 20 September 2007.

In 2007 as part of their annual research grant, the Eduserve Foundation funded four projects to specifically explore the use of Second Life in education. This one day event will feature presentations from each of the projects, as well as presentations from Andy Powell (Eduserve) and Lawrie Phipps (JISC). Paul Hollins (JISC CETIS) will lead a discussion session in the afternoon.

The aims of the day are to: NB This is a real life event :-)
 * showcase the projects to the JISC CETIS community
 * explore potential issues with using Second Life in Education such as interoperability and sustainability
 * discuss ways in which funding bodies can best support the community’s activities with virtual worlds.

The meeting is free to attend and lunch and refreshments will be provided. An agenda and information about booking will be available shortly.
