Ahead of the Future? Cute name and I can't take credit for it, however am lucky to work with the talented people that thought it up. Anyway, the important part of this Blog entry is to demonstrate how education is changing as it accommodates more technology. Here we are looking at virtual worlds - the new unknown and exciting
Three years ago, the University of Texas System bought a year's lease of Second Life islands for all of its universities and medical centers. For UTB, the project has been an astounding success as we grow virtually as well as in person.
We hope you will consider presenting or attending our virtual campus.
Ahead of the Future 2011 is looking for the latest research on innovations in education. The University of Texas at Brownsville vUTB Islands will allow you to participate in the conference from your home, school or office - without incurring travel expenses.
Conference attendees and presenters will be able to present virtually, in person, or both as live as virtual presentations will be broadcast simultaneously. Presentations will be in Second Life, but topics can include any teaching innovation for educators. Presentations can be from education institutions or educational support business or industry.
To submit a proposal to be presented on vUTB in Second Life, please submit this form by August 31, 2011.
