Hi Charles, Someone told me that Charles Nesson of Harvard Law School was conducting workshops/classes in Second Life. You might poke around on the Berkman Center site to check. - Julie -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Charles Ess Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2007 4:50 PM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: [Air-l] use of second life in higher education? A colleague is starting to examine possible uses of Second Life in higher education.

I am enjoying this Podcast also some people have posted educational events in Second Life to the list. search for Vancouver + Master's of media in the emails I will forward it to you later but am running out to a volunteer dinner right now. Peter Timusk, B.Math statistics (2002), B.A. legal studies (2006) Carleton University Systems Science Graduate student, University of Ottawa (2006-2007). just trying to stay linear. Read by hundreds of lurkers every week. On 27-Jun-07, at 4:49 PM, Charles Ess wrote:
