Attending Conferences from Your Desktop

Registering for a Conference in Second Life at Edunation

With the technologies we have available it is possible to attend both live and asynchronous sessions with colleagues around the world (or is that worlds?)

As posted earlier, Innovation 2008 in Breckenridge on April 14th and 15th will offer an opportunity to hear from a wide range of experts across technology, policy, and practice for a very reasonable $69:

A thirteen year conference, Teaching, Colleges, and Community, hosted by institutions from Hawaii and Japan provides great community, great sessions by faculty practioners on the use of various tools for instruction, and also is available at the rate of $69 if you register before March 31. This online conference is scheduled for April 15th - 17th:

Why would anyone want to do this? It's a chance to get in on some great peer-shared expertise when the need to travel is competing with priorities, plus the archives are typically there for referral after the conference is over.

And you'll be surprised at how real the peer-networking is...
