iEducate Project - SL partner meeting

Knowing Hand and F21 met in Second Life today to discuss the iEducate island design and locating of the new virtual training centre.  This new resource will allow educators at F21 to use their existing teaching materials in a 3D virtual world setting. Courses being delivered from their office in Bulgaria via the Second Life(SL) island will include CCNA, CNP, SUN microsytems and Java programming.

The first meeting of these partners "in-world" was seen as a great success.  Jim Shuker of Knowing Hand, aka Jimbo Hefferman in SL, said; "We had arranged to start with an audio only conference using Skype but following some technical difficulties moved into Second Life.  Even though there were people who had only used SL once before, the meeting quickly got up to speed and real progress was made in agreeing how partners would work together on project outputs based in SL.  Overall a great success!"
