[Pardon my de-lurking...] I don't use it myself, but I've been to plenty of
humanities conferences lately where it's being discussed from both a
pedagogical and research perspective.<br>
<br>
Scan this listing of digital humanities sessions at the Modern Language
Association for "virtual" and you'll find SL stuff: <a
href="http://www.samplereality.com/2009/11/15/digital-humanities-sessions-at-the-2009-mla/">http://www.samplereality.com/2009/11/15/digital-humanities-sessions-at-the-2009-mla/</a><br>
<br>
Or these daily schedules from the Digital Arts and Culture conference:<br>
<a href="http://dac09.uci.edu/day1.html">http://dac09.uci.edu/day1.html</a>
(see the Sex 1 panel, where several talked about SL)<br>
<a href="http://dac09.uci.edu/day3.html">http://dac09.uci.edu/day3.html</a>
(see Int Ped 1, which stands for interdisciplinary pedagogy; the Harrells
presented a nice qualitative and quantitative study about using SL and STEM
learning with alternative high school students)<br>
<br>
Or last spring's Computers & Writing Online conference, which was partly held
in SL (thanks to the NMC and the Institute for Multimedia Literacy at USC):<br>
<a href="http://writingprogram.ucdavis.edu/cw2009/sl.htm">http://writingprogram.ucdavis.edu/cw2009/sl.htm</a><br>
<br>
(This spring's C&W Online will probably also be partly held in SL, and that
conference -- mostly writing professors who teach with lots of digital
technology and media -- always has a handful of sessions about WoW and SL,
prolly more this year since the theme is Virtual Worlds: <a
href="http://www.digitalparlor.org/cw2010/">http://www.digitalparlor.org/cw2010/</a>
-- no details yet tho. And, fyi, the online conference is usually free...)<br>
