When I talk to others regarding eLearning they are:

• Either afraid of it or puzzled by it,

• They seem to either embrace it or rationalize rejecting it,

• Most try to compare it to the past with no picture of the future.

The more I think about what elearning has become and its acceptance in the marketplace and in institutions, it takes on the presence of this quiet "Knowledge Worker's Guardian Angel".

  Sheri has worked in the eLearning industry for 8 years, beginning at the University of Phoenix where whe was part of a three-person team who first implemented the UOP FlexNet program at her campus.  She moved to Western International University where she had oversight of WIU Interactive Online.  She currently works for Central Arizona College as Director of Distance Learning.

Sheri holds a BS degree in Financial Management, a BS degree in Computer Information Systems, and an MAEd in Adult Education/Distance Learning. She is an MCP and is most interested in promoting quality thinking skills in education and beyond.

  Hello all:

During the previous several months, several of us have been investigating how Sloan-C can use Second Life (SL) for helping our membership interact and for delivering workshops.

The purpose of this memo is to tell you a bit about what we have discovered, invite you to visit the island and, if possible and if you are interested, to help us staff the site on the island.
