Finding the time to participate in these seminars is a challenge for us all.
In the last Scope seminar on online facilitation. Nick and Sylvia used some tools to give us an 'at a glance' overview of the discussions. We'll also be using these tools in this session.
Mind Maps
We will be building several Mind Maps based on the discussions and Sylvia will be posting them in the resource area. We are using Mind Meister and I encourage everyone in the conference to participate in building the map. I am only to happy to give you the keys to doodle or build your own map on a thread of interest to you. Send me an email at Therese@datadesigns.ca or reply to this thread.

Our Wiki
I'll be rearranging and adding to this wiki as the conference progresses
http://scope.lidc.sfu.ca/mod/wiki/view.php?id=464
You are encouraged to drop things in as you browse around. Dive in - You get extra points for spelling mistakes and being off topic.
Introductory Powerpoint.
We also have an introductory power point on Serious Games to seed our discussions. It is attached to this post and you will also find it online here.

Tried looking at the mindmap but can't see it. Takes me to login page, I login and then can't navigate to it.

Hi Corinne,
Sent an invite. Unfortunately I have to send out a invitation before someone can use MindMeister. I was thinking of sending out invitations to everyone, but I just looked and there are over 300 people on the list - so I am on my best behavior now.
Anyone who is interested can email me at Therese@datadesign.ca and I will fix you up.

Hi Folks,
Another busy week.
I'm taking tomorrow off - my day job. In addition to enjoying the spring sunshine and some off-leash time, I'll be catching up and updating the mind maps and wiki.
Tia is on a trip to the UK, She made a quick pittstop at the internet cafe in the airport to tell us all is fine. She sent the message via Scope! Tomorrow, Friday, she will be presenting at a conference sponsored by our first guest Ron Edwards of Ambient Performance.
Ron has assembled an impressive array of speakers who are interested in mobile learning including our last minute entry Tia (yea!) who will be presenting on Industry player and discussing Serious Games and Virtual Worlds in a corporate learning context.
Obviously, Ron is very busy with this conference but I will be working on enticing him back next Tuesday to spend an hour with us in the Virtual World There. Stay tuned.

Posting the first draft of the PDF summary for this session. I still have some work to do however I wanted to post it early as we wind down the discussions. Tia is in the UK and will be online for the closing remarks this Tuesday.
We will not be having the event in There with Ron Edwards before the end of this conference. We thought it best to focus on digesting the contributions that have been provided rather than scheduling an event on the last day.
The PDF summary has a space for reflections on what we learned during our time here. I will create a new thread to hold our thoughts.

Hi Folks,
Thank you so much for your participation and contributions thus far.
The more deeply we engage within the group the more we will benefit from this experience.
Since we're busy people and this is a long weekend, I though I would summarize where we are at. First of all, spent some time updating the mindmap and the wiki. You'll find them here :
We have several discussion threads going including these three:
and we are looking at Some Serious Games
* Industry Player
* Some Games for Health from Dierdre
* Thinking Worlds
We are planning an ellumate session on Serious Games and a Foray to Boracay Island in Second Life. We will update you on how those are coming along soon
If you want to dabble this weekend, Social Impact Games Has a nice categorized list of games to explore. Come back and tell us what you found interesting.

We have several discussion threads going including these three:
- What do we need to optimise Serious Games in the classroom?
- Serious Games: Oxymoron or explorative concept?
- DO SERIOUS GAMES WORK?
