The goal is to bring educators together to share their experiences of virtual teaching about what has been successful and ways to tackle obstacles across virtual platforms and communities. Meetings are held quarterly where educational communities collaborate and document their progress on best practices for teaching and learning in virtual environments.
A few broad topics dealt with are:
-
Community of Trust
-
Educators bringing students to SL for learning and building
-
How students get bored soon or get addicted to SL
-
How to monitor the online times for Real Life students
