realities of corporate eLearning. His approach combines rapid development
with low cost to create a product that is more engaging for the eLearner
and cost effective.
In addition to his Second Life presentation, Mr. Miller will be facilitating
a broader session discussing the place of virtual worlds in corporate settings.
