The Information Resources Management College (iCollege) of the National Defense University established the Federal Consortium for Virtual Worlds (FCVW) in July 2007. The consortium was created to explore multi-agency and intra- agency collaboration using the robust capabilities of virtual worlds, examining best practices across multiple sectors. The objective of the consortium is to help government agencies to share resources, training, and experience; leverage outreach capabilities and practices; connect to new partners and business opportunities; and demonstrate the benefits for virtual worlds’ collaborative capabilities

I started using Second Life six years ago, while studying for my Postgraduate Diploma in Education (specializing in e-Learning Pedagogy). Since then, I've explored many other Virtual Worlds/Grids, like Kitely, InWorldz, other public and private OpenSim grids, as well as Sim-on-a-Stick (SoaS), and even the very promising (now apparently very dead) virtual-world-on-a-browser Cloud Party. Recently, I had the opportunity to share my views on the potencial of Second Life and other VW for education/training with educators who have never used any of these platforms. Via elearning hoje

Education in Virtual Worlds :...
This is a flexible programme of study, which will be taught entirely online in the virtual world Second Life. It enables educators to explore the potential of virtual worlds to enhance learning.
'Virtual worlds' (VWs) is the term used to describe online, 3D environments that enable users to interact with the environment and each other through the use of avatars. Virtual worlds now contain many rich and diverse environments, created by users from around the world. They allow users to explore environments and experiences in a way that would be impossible in the real world, but in a way that enhances rather than replaces real world experience. For the purposes of education and training the ability to use these virtual simulations as a teaching tool is proving to have great potential.

Description: The practices of educational applications in virtual worlds have obtained many concerns among educators and researchers over the past few years. To respond the increasing demands of practitioners applying virtual worlds in educational settings, the first workshop on Real Education in Second Life was held in conjunction with The 18th International Conference on Computers in Education (ICCE2010). To expand the participations and influences, the second workshop on Real Education in Second Life was renamed as Real Education in Virtual Worlds on 19th ICCE2011. We had a fruitful harvest in the workshop last year. The theme of this year will focus on foreign language learning and teaching (FLLT). All the researchers and educators of language learning and teaching or educational applications in virtual worlds such as Second Life, online games, virtual reality, augmented reality, etc. are very welcome to join us. A forum will be provided in this two-hour workshop for international participants to share knowledge, experiences, and concerns on related issues in Virtual Worlds and explore the directions for future research collaborations.

KF: Many strands in this conference relate directly to Health and Medical Sciences (clinical practice, training and education). There are also streams related to general education, training and research. A fairly unique conference by the look of things.
