Hello all!
As we get closer to the start of the Connectivism course, I wanted to invite anyone who is interested in exploring virtual worlds in education to participate in the Second Life Cohort of the Connectivism and Connective Knowledge course. From the wiki we have set up at:
http://chilbo.wikispaces.com/Connectivism+Course+in+Chilbo
The Chilbo community in Second Life will host a cohort of the Connectivism course to explore the affordances of using a 3D immersive environment as an optional component of the curriculum. Participants will meet weekly for synchronous discussion in Second Life and will have the opportunity to create a home or office in the Chilbo community for the duration of the course. Due to space limitations, this cohort will be limited to approximately 50 participants.
Instructions to Participate in the Second Life Cohort
1. Create a Second Life account, download and install the software, and complete the self-paced Orientation process to learn basic navigation skills.
2. Complete the short sign up form to join the Connectivism Second Life Cohort.
3. In Second Life, teleport to Chilbo to begin exploring the environment before the course begins (see below).

Connectivism Village in Chilbo
Weekly discussions will be held in the Shrubbery Amphitheatre & Park in Chilbo, though other areas of the community have resources that may be of interest to participants. The Connectivism Village will provide a "neighborhood" and sandbox area for participants in the course. Please note that the Chilbo community is holding a summer fair through August 31, 2008 in the area where the Connectivism Village will be constructed - if you visit early, enjoy the fairgrounds!Shrubbery Amphitheatre & Park: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Chilbo/167/129/109

Hi Fleep,
Can you give us an idea of the day and time the synchronous discussion
would be held each week? I am very interested in joining the group,
but I can't access Second Life outside of my normal working hours.
Thanks

Hi Louise,
I'll probably close the registration for the Second Life cohort down today since I was shooting for about 50 people in the group and as of this moment it stands at.. 90!!
With such a large group, we may end up scheduling more than one weekly synchronous discussion time to accommodate the different time zones. We'll poll the group as soon as the registration closes to pick the days of the week and the hour, so if you sign up, you'll be included in that message to indicate your preference.
Thanks so much and hope to meet you in world!
All the best,

Hi Chris, Fleep,
Since Connectivitas, we welcome his initiative.
As you know, our community of practice has created a specific site to
study the effects of Connectivism on society of Spanish-speaking
countries.
Our site (http://tinyurl.com/6ey25m), hosted in Second Life Spain,
initially, like that of Chilbo, has a maximum capacity of 40-50
people, depending on the Prims used.
However, Connectivitas has already exceeded our initial projections-we
have over-70 members, so we sought a new option that allows us to
accommodate up to 230 people at the same time and that is fully
operational in the second half of September.
Meanwhile, the debate on Connectivism, which began in early August,
takes place in our grou.ps (http://grou.ps/connectivitas/home) and is
particularly active. We also have a page in public Pagefalkes (http://
www.pageflakes.com/connectivitas/23618668).
Undoubtedly, we will try to share its experience in Chilbo and learn
from it. We, of course, we offer you and any other interested person
the opportunity to share activities generated by Connectivitas.
Best regards,
Dolors

Hi all,
To everyone who signed up for the CCK08SL - Second Life Cohort in Chilbo, you should have received two invitations to the initial email address you provided:
- An invitation to a separate googlegroup for our discussions specific to the SL Cohort in Chilbo
- An invitation in Second Life for your avatar to join the Chilbo Community Building Project group
If you did NOT receive these invitations or have any difficulty getting into these two groups, please email me offlist to fleep...@gmail.com. Otherwise, I expect we'll use those communication channels for specific conversations moving forward and save the broader Connectivism group from our self-organizing discussions. :)
Thanks again to everyone who signed up, I am looking forward to the experience!

Hola Dolors!
Thanks for the links! I'll take a look at these resources this evening and I hope we'll have opportunities to share and collaborate with one another - plus it will give me an excuse to practice my very rusty spanish!
