Ya habíamos hablado anteriormente de angel learning (una plataforma que ha salido muy bien parada de un reciente informe), el domingo 4 de marzo de 2007 en el post titulado» Horizon Wimba Announces Integration with ANGEL Learning»

Hoy traemos su anuncio de «ANGEL Learning Creates Second Life Experience Open to Public for Virtual World Experimentation» crear un lugar abierto al público para la experimentación , junto con SLED, que para quien no sepa lo que es es una comunidad en Second Life de educadores. Se aplaude la unión de Angel Learning con SLED (por cierto produce un número casi ilegible de mensajes en su lista de correo) y que además sea abierta la experiencia.

For Immediate Release – April 17, 2007

Indianapolis, Ind. – April 17, 2007 – A cooperative effort between the product development team at ANGEL Learning and the SLED (Second Life Educators community) has produced a virtual experience within the popular Second Life virtual world designed for educational experimentation.
