Live 3D, Learn 3D
Building Global Learning Communities through Collaboration,
Knowledge Networks and Play
Saturday October 14, 2000 10am PDT (1pm EST) to 3pm PDT (6pm
EST) In the Education Universe, AWedu in Cyberspace
This year's conference in cyberspace will feature projects, programs
and people who have been using and developing these spaces for educational
purposes. This event will open up for one day- a lens into where
we are, where we are going, and how we are getting there as we redefine
the educational experience through digital collaboration in compelling,
original, avatar inhabited learning environments.
This worldwide event in will feature multiple speaking tracks,
tour streams through education worlds, a poster session in the VLearn
Library and Birds of a Feather breakout sessions in selected AWedu
worlds. Physical "nodes" located at Institutions around the globe
will tap in via computer labs and large screen local broadcasts
to see, talk about and experience this event as well as distributed
virtual participants coming in from outside of the campus. A special
panel on teleimmersion, telepresence and virtual worlds will link
VLearn3D 2000 with the exciting activities of Avatars 2000 - Cyberspace
for a New Millenium on October 15, 2000.
The Speaker Tracks
