Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education conference this weekend

For three days this coming weekend (Friday, 27 March to Sunday, 29 March), Second Life will be host to the Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education conference. This grassroots, community-based conference attracts faculty, instructors, trainers, administrators, instructional designers, technical specialists, and members of organizations from around the world. Education is one of the spheres of industry where virtual environments are a tool that will probably never go away.

Those who create teaching/learning environments, resources, tools, support services and professional development opportunities internal and external to virtual world environments are participating in the conference. The conference schedule itself is more than impressive, featuring just about every big name in Second Life education, with more than 25 panels, presentations, tours and meet-and-greets across multiple Second Life venues.

Participation in the conference is free of charge, but you will need to register. For more information, check out the conference website.
