Fleep discussed the genesis of the SLEDcc name and gave an overview of the six conference strands and upcoming sessions in Tampa. She also talked about the SLEDcc Working Groups, a new component of this year’s program, that will bring participants together to address four topics to generate useful resources for members of the Second Life education community. Educators are invited to contribute to the SLEDcc Working Group discussions in the SLEDcc08 group on RezEd prior to the conference:
- Developing Template Language About Second Life for Course Syllabi/Parent Notices
- Creating an Institutional Use/Student Code of Conduct Policy for Second Life
- Organizing a Directory of Institutions & Courses Using Second Life
- Feedback to Linden Lab: What Would Educators Like from Linden Lab in the Next 1-3 Years?
SLEDcc will also have a full program in-world, with streamed sessions from Tampa and an exciting schedule of tours, socials, poster sessions, and presentations. Register for the in-world SLEDcc here!
