OCC2007 Ending
Well, our whirlwind of a week with the Online Connectivity Conference has now ended, and while I have been getting at least 100 emails extra each day, I will miss the creative juices that have been flowing. I will need to spend some time catching up with some of the posts I have wanted to add, so hope the Moodle server remains open for our comments.
I preliminary finding I had from reading and interacting with my colleagues, there was a great amount of excitement with Second Life, and while the conference was primarily around a theoretical foundation, it is interesting how the theory has been brought, almost seamlessly, into practice. This is a recurring theme in my own research (cf., my upcoming paper presentation at AHRD in March). Nice to see that gap being briedged here.
For all practical purposes, I now have two things to consider--the theoretical foundations of Connnectivism as well as how many see it coming into play in Second Life.
