Presentations and data are made public to help further publicize the benefits of language learning in spatial voice enabled realistic virtual worlds. We recognize that there simply is no other better way to receive immediate exposure to the language and with so much fun. It being free, at Cypris Chat, makes this even better.
Panel: Virtual Self-Governance
How do communities govern themselves in virtual worlds? What do members want from virtual communities, and how are those things provided? How much do national laws and policies actually affect virtual self-governance? What tools are needed that we don’t have yet? How do the platforms enable or hinder effective community governance?

CREATIVE CITIZENSHIP: BUILDING CONNECTION, KNOWLEDGE,
BELONGING AND LEADERSHIP IN YOUNG PEOPLE
Lisa Burnett Regional Manager Transit Lounge Caboolture Qld and Anne Spelman Client Services
Coordinator Moreton Bay Region Libraries Qld
For the last three years Moreton Bay Region Libraries has hosted Transit Lounge Caboolture (TLC), a developmental
program for creative young people. Although not an obvious pairing, it has been successful, with the hosting arrangement on
the verge of transforming into a true partnership. Between them, they offer a suite of services and programs that support the
developmental needs of creative young people from pathfinders through to aspiring artists, emerging artists and professional
artists. Programs such as Mash It Up short film festival and Band Camp, services like the enewsletter and project mentoring
provide opportunities for skills development, networking, showcasing and resourcing that would not otherwise exist. Through
this unique partnership, a continuum of support has been offered that connects young people to each other, to community
resources and to professional artists and artsworkers – connection, knowledge, belonging – developing a generation of
young citizens who have a stake in their community and the skills and networks to create and lead arts and cultural activity.
Edited version of a paper presented at ‘12 to 24s @ your public library in Australia and New Zealand conference’ Qld 11-
12 June 2010.
hen we sat down to develop this paper
there was one word that dominated our
conversation – why?
• why does Transit Lounge Caboolture exist?
• why is Moreton Bay Region Libraries doing
community development work?
• why are we partnering?
• why are we interested in working with young
people?
• why arts and culture?
• why do we think other people should be doing
this?
We articulated our personal motivations, which
ultimately lead back to some clear and compelling
reasons.
Declining optimism
In the 10 years between 1995 and 2005 there was a
significant decline in young people’s optimism
regarding their preferred futures
• 49% of young people think the future quality
of life in Australia will be worse (up 25%)
• 65% think the world is headed for a bad time
of crisis and trouble (up 49%)
• although 89% would prefer a ‘green’ future
only 23% expect that is what they will see
• although only 11% prefer a ‘growth’ focused
future, 77% expect that is what will prevail.1
If you are faced with a widening gulf between your
expected and preferred futures, what does that do
to your sense of hope – especially if you do not
feel that you have any control over that situation?
Reduced feelings of wellbeing
A survey2 of more than 10,000 Australian students
from prep school to year 12 found that
• 40% of students could be described as
displaying lower levels of social and emotional
wellbeing
• there was, at most, only a weak positive
relationship.

Governance in Virtual Worlds 2010: Politics of Virtual Engagement in Higher ...Fleep Tuque
Keynote Panel - The Politics of Virtual Engagement
What are the implications of virtual worlds for education, work and governance? Why are these spaces engaging, and can the engagement of entertainment be transferred to "serious" virtual contexts? What if anything gets lost in translation? What are the dangers of virtual engagement for the public sphere?

ISTE Presentation - Second Life Viewer 2.0: Exciting Upgrade for Educators! ...Fleep Tuque
Second Life Viewer 2.0 - Exciting Upgrade for Educators!
The new Second Life Viewer 2.0 recently released for beta testing represents a radical shift in the user interface of Second Life. Will it ease the entry to virtual worlds for students, teachers, and administrators? What do experienced Second Life users need to know to reduce the "unlearning" curve? How will the long awaited html-on-a-prim "Shared Media" affect teaching and learning? When will Viewer 2.0 become the default interface for Second Life? Join us for a lively discussion about Viewer 2.0 with Chris Collins (SL: Fleep Tuque), project manager for the University of Cincinnati's Second Life campus and Second Life Ambassador of the Ohio Learning Network, a consortium of 80 colleges and universities in Ohio. To fully participate in the discussion, attendees are encouraged to download and install the new viewer at http://secondlife.com/beta-viewer/ prior to the session.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

10. Fleep & Rachel – Nov 16, 2006
Love your pub! I live in Kuwol,
next region to the east. Chilbo is
much nicer! We don't have any
parks, sidewalks, or pubs at all;
just houses.
I hope I'll see you at your pub
sometime!
Rachel
11. Fleep & Rachel – Nov 22, 2006
Hi Fleep. I'm sending a notecard to avoid clogging up your
IM box.
I looked at that first lot again, and it's a good thing i did. Now
that the sidewalk is in there, i can see that my house will be
too long there as well.
I measure the house as being 15 by 25, at most. I was using
those 4x4 yellow blocks from the quot;edit terrainquot; menu to
measure it, so I think it's a bit smaller than that; but not
much.
I'm going to think seriously about going up a tier: I really want
to live in Chilbo! But even if I don't move in the end, I'd still
like to be involved with the community association.
And once again, don't worry about any of this until your
holiday is done!
Warm regards,
Rachel
