You need a SL avatar and the SL browser on your computer, to participate, and it is nice if you have read the paper ;-) though the session leader will summarise key points briefly at the start, as usual. Eleni Zazani (of Birkbeck College (University of London), UK, Loreena Sandalwood in SL) will lead discussion. We will be discussing:
