Asa, There are current discussion of this in the Educator list in SL: http://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/educators to join. You can re-ask the questions and not get flamed. It is a very friendly list. James Åsa Rosenberg <asa.rosenberg@sociology.gu.se> wrote: Hello, I am a PhD student at the Department of Sociology at Göteborg university, Sweden. I am planning an empirical exploratory study on ethics in online research using Second Life as my case (several case studies in SL on other topics will follow). I would very much appreciate any help I can get with the following questions. 1) Has any research like mine been conducted? I am looking for studies that focus particularly on research ethics and Second Life, i.e. studies performed in SL where ethics are the main object of study. I am well aware of the multitude of publications in more general ethics in online research. 2) Is there an online bibliography of research in Second Life besides the Annotated Bibliography of Second Life Educational Online Resources at http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~mpepper/slbib? I am looking for some place that collects all published research on Second Life. (Not sure if that is the purpose of the Annotated Bibilography). Apologies for any cross-postings and thanks in advance, Åsa Rosenberg (SL: Kid Kuhn) Åsa Rosenberg Department of Sociology, Göteborg University asa.rosenberg[at]sociology.gu.se http://www.cyberkid.se _______________________________________________ The air-l@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/ --------------------------------- Bored stiff?
