Informacja od Graham’a Davies’a:

As announced a few weeks ago, EUROCALL and CALICO have joined forces in Second Life on EduNation III Island. We have just created a Welcome area, from which you can teleport to the main locations in the two headquarters of our associations, as well as a joint Resources Centre that we are stocking with free resources for teaching and learning. Here is the SLURL of the Welcome area:

I have just finished creating a snapshot wall (with landmarks) in the Resources Centre displaying views of interesting locations covering a variety of languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and Italian. There are a few fun links too: Winter Wonderland, Fibber Magee’s Pub in SL Dublin and the Knightsbridge Underground Club where you can dance the night away.

The following text was posted to the EUROCALL discussion list on the 27th April, 2009:

As you may have heard, CALICO has already set up a Virtual Worlds Special Interest Group (VW SIG). Following discussions between Graham Davies (EUROCALL), Thom Thibeault (CALICO) and Randall Sadler (CALICO) it has been decided to create a joint CALICO/EUROCALL Virtual Worlds SIG.

EUROCALL already has a headquarters building in Second Life, on the EduNation III island. CALICO has now acquired the land immediately next door and will shortly be building its headquarters there, linked to the EUROCALL HQ, thus creating a significant presence in Second Life for teachers and learners of foreign languages.
