We’ve been busily getting ready for the upcoming NSW LearnScope eLearning07 Conference to be held on the 1 and 2 November (that’s this week!). The event will be held across three spaces - the Island of jokaydia in Second Life, Adobe Connect and physically at the Sydney at the University of New South Wales.

The highlight of eLearning07 will be the Connected Keynote Panel which is being hosted by Barbara Dieu aka Bee Kerouac live in Second Life from her home in Brazil via a special outdoor kitchen and dining area I’ve constructed for the event. Bee’s session will also be broadcast in Adobe Connect.
