Joint CALICO/EUROCALL Virtual Worlds SIG

The following text was posted to the EUROCALL discussion list on the 27th April, 2009:

As you may have heard, CALICO has already set up a Virtual Worlds Special Interest Group (VW SIG). Following discussions between Graham Davies (EUROCALL), Thom Thibeault (CALICO) and Randall Sadler (CALICO) it has been decided to create a joint CALICO/EUROCALL Virtual Worlds SIG.
 
EUROCALL already has a headquarters building in Second Life, on the EduNation III island. CALICO has now acquired the land immediately next door and will shortly be building its headquarters there, linked to the EUROCALL HQ, thus creating a significant presence in Second Life for teachers and learners of foreign languages.
 
We welcome suggestions about what people think would be useful to have at the site. If you are interested in becoming part of a core group for the site development please let us know. We plan to hold our first joint SIG meeting at the EUROCALL 2009 conference in Spain – details to be announced.
 
The contact persons for the joint VW SIG are:

We look forward to hearing from you.
