This is just a live talk about Second Life. Unfortunately I did not have any callers. So it's basically just a quick summary of my Second Life experience so far.
As you may know already, I'm now exploring the virtual world of Second Life (SL). It's not that I want to do computer games, but I want to find out if it is possible to do learning in a virtual Environment.

This evening we talked about online learning also known as distance learning or e-learning.
My apologies to the live listeners. I had some soundcard problems but I have uploaded another audio file in much better quality. If you had problems listening live, please download the MP3-file.
Today I want to recommend some podcasts about computer. There are a lot of podcasts available that focus on that topic.
Today's Talkcast was about Video Sharing.
Here you can download the MP3-File.
here are the links that I have mentioned:
YouTube (most popular at the moment)
blip.tv (can share Video and Audio files)

Later on we talked about another interesting site:
twitter.com (Sharing instant messages)
I will consider a separate talk about twitter later.
Ok, I have to admit: I just got an account for SecondLife a few days ago. As web-developer and web-tutor, I have to know about this technology (it's always good to have an excuse for playing on the computer).
The Question is: what can you do in SecondLife? Is it just another computer game? No, it is not. It's a virtual world. For Star-Trek fans it's a technology that comes very close to the "Holo-Deck" of Starship Enterprise (the Next Generation, not Kirk's Enterprise).
