I am interested in education in SL, especially language learning and teaching (particularly games & quests).

I am project manger of the British Council's 'Learn English Second Life for Teens' (in the Teen Grid), now showcased on the British Council Isle in the main grid: http://www.youtube.com/user/britishcouncil4teens

I am also involved in the EU funded AVALON project developing language learning and teaching resources in virtual worlds. See http://www.avalonlearning.eu/
