 * Second Life Meetups for** [|Educause Spring Session "Immersive Learning Environments"]

__Possible ways of connecting the two (please add your ideas):__
 * presentation slides on an in-world display board, or on slideshare, in advance
 * audio skypecast from person presenting, participants to listen in only (no audio in, unless someone can be onground to facilitate this)
 * text in-world Raleigh attendees 'live chatting' key points with questions posed through chat, possibly an in-world facilitator to help post questions flying through chat to an in-world message board (for example).

//**If you are going to the Educause Spring session and are willing or planning to have an SL back or front (if presenting) channel going, can you post the details here.**//

__Presenter Session details__ Sarah "Intellagirl" Robbins will present at ELI: "Immersion and Engagement in a Virtual Classroom: Using //Second Life// for Higher Education" Project Parlor from 3:30 p.m. ([|your time zone]) to 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday, March 27, and as a Concurrent Session on Wednesday, March 28, from 1:10 p.m. ([|your time zone]) to 2:45 p.m.

__ELI Raleigh Participants__
 * Sarah Robbins
 * Joe Clark (JS Saltwater - GMT -5) -- I will have my laptop with me during the sessions and, assuming there's wireless, will attempt to maintain an SL connection -- but am not sure how else I might help those who aren't present. Ideas welcome (but be gentle with this newbie)! For example, what's a good SL space for the folks in list 2 to meet in?
 * We have an auditorium on NMC Campus we can use (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Learning/173/191/32/)
 * Kathy Kyzer
 * Kevin Gamble
 * Brett Bixler
 * Alan Levine (CDB Barkley)
 * Jeff VanDrimmelen

__Update:__ The EDUCAUSE folks are really interested in this. We are planning to stream audio from the main sessions (slides wil not be available) and make it available for participating on NMC Campus. See this [|tentative schedule]. I ask the participants coming to Raleigh to help be the bridge between RlL and SL, to rely messages back and forth, to get some good photos. If any of them are willing to write some blog summaries for the [|NMC Campus Observer], I will set up an account. I need a bit of help with this as I am part of the program committee and am juggling a few things. Will post another update when we get more info about the logistics.

//It will help if you can assist the SL participants who have trouble with audio, etc. I am not going to be able to provide in world support (Alan)//
 * //If you want to be in-world for these events, please post your interest here.//**
