Hello all This article describes a strike of IBM in Second Life. Actually this strike was the topic of a presentation in a Second Life session at ISCAR. Bruce Robinson presented on his study of this strike. During the session, Michael Evans presented on his study of telepresence in virtual worlds and I presented on my use of CHAT to study virtual learning environments. I am also interested in telepresence and how this impacts the development of advanced learning processes. I have looked into flow as an aspect of telepresence. I am also interested in social issues games that are now being developed as as means to engage students and develop social and cultural awareness. I would be interested in any information or insight from this group on a CHAT study of these environments. Donna Donna L.
