Given the potential for self directed language learning in a MUVE (Multi User Virtual Environment), what is the role of the classroom? This talk, illustrated by several years of experience in Languagelab, will look at:

• The value of recreating the traditional classroom in a MUVE
• Different phases of classroom deconstruction over 18 months in Languagelab
• The role of the teacher / guide / instructor / facilitator in supporting semi-formal and informal learning in muves
• How student expectations of the above role can change according to what other learning activities they are participating in.
• Guidelines for good practice

P.D.: I’d like to thank Head Teacher [Paul Sweeney (RL) was the Former Director of Education at Languagelab.com and e-learning Manager at the British Council, and now is an independent e-learning consultant in the areas of e-English, e-content, m-content and virtual worlds for education] for the conference and for the permission he gave me to publish it in Sarasuati. As always, unless Head Teacher sais otherwise, the copyright of this video follows the general line of Sarasuati (CC 2.0 Attribution, non-commercial, Share Alike). Obviously, the author of the video is Head Teacher, and I am only the person who encoded it.
