> We are delighted to announce that the EARLI2011
> Virtual Conference space is now open.
> Please register at http://elac.ex.ac.uk/earli.
> Click on register in the opening page to create
> your own username and password, no need to
> remember your EARLI numbers.
> In keeping with the theme of the conference,
> 'Education for a Global Networked Society', this
> Virtual space is open to all so please pass on
> this link to any friends and colleagues who might
> benefit from the community of learning that EARLI
> provides but will not be at Exeter in the flesh.
> This is now an opportunity for those who are going
> to be at Exeter in August to make contact with
> each other, arrange meetings, prepare events and
> ask questions.
>
> The style of the space is influenced by FaceBook.
> This means you have to actively join groups to be
> a member of them and it is easy to set up new
> groups and start new discussion topics. If you
> have any problems contact Mike Jeffries of the
> Exeter Local Organising committee who created this
> space and will help make it work:
> M.J.Jeffries at exeter.ac.uk
>
> In May we will be running a number of 'Hot-Seat'
> events where leading researchers, mostly
> SIG-invited Key Note speakers, will lead a
> discussion. These are currently clearly labelled
> on the right of the opening screen. Please join
> the groups you are interested in. There are 4
> events currently showing but more have been agreed
> and will be appearing in the next few days when
> all the details are confirmed. If you do not see
> your SIG group represented or want to start a new
> topic why not organise your own Hot-Seat?
>
> These discussion spaces, and others that you
> create, will continue and allow for preparation of
> ideas before sessions as well as discussion and
> reflection after sessions at the conference in the
> flesh. We hope that this virtual space will
> thereby widen and deepen the learning experience
> of the Exeter EARLI2011 conference, but this of
> course, like almost everything else in life, all
> depends on you and your engagement and activity -
> so please register, join groups and ask
> questions.
>
> We look forward to meeting you online
