WHAT: Avatar tracking and analysis meeting, demonstrations, and discussion
WHEN: FRIDAY MARCH 14, 2008 from 1-2pm EST
WHERE: Second Life (Casablanca: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Casablanca/135/87/26)

Join us in Casablanca (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Casablanca/135/87/26) to
discuss how avatar tracking and analysis will be used to record activity and
assess student performance within Immersive Education learning environments. An
overview of avatar tracking and analysis relative to the Education Grid will be
discussed, with a focus on Education Grid requirements for open APIs and
interfaces, protected learning environments, usage metrics, and anti-spoofing
mechanisms (see Meeting Materials at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/events/ for
an overview of these draft requirements).

Special guest Prof. Hilary Mason of Johnson and Wales University will
demonstrate real-time usage metrics in Second Life and discuss how this research
may contribute to Immersive Education standards that can be supported by any
virtual world platform including Croquet and Wonderland. See real-time graphs of
avatars attending this meeting at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/events/

This meeting starts at 1pm EST (10am pacific / Second Life time) and ends at
2pm, with additional time beyond that allocated to questions and further discussion.
