Aladoadmin : it is a fact that corporations are heavily invested in SL
Aladoadmin : and it is a money making enterprise
alicebarr : Not yet elderbob but Educators are trying to figure out ways to do what you say
aiden : it would be difficult--perhaps in the future but not anytime soon
Vance : if it costs you money that's quite understandable
Aladoadmin : yes
Aladoadmin : they can convert the L$ to USD
aiden : we're also speaking of real $--for teachers in Asia, this would cost them heaps!
alicebarr : It's been a tremendous collaborative opportunity

aiden : it's the same thing here
Hala : Same here in Sudan
aiden : but even for public unis here Daf
SusNy : yes - money are an interesting drive for innovation - but when it comes to greed and you start exploiting friends, then it becomes an ethical matter
elderbob : Money is not necessarily evil in itself, its the ethics of generating it that gets my concern.
DafneG : students don't pay at our public universities
DafneG : our budget is very low
Nellie : I usually have to pay to present at conferences and I can't afford it
aiden : in the school where I worked for 2 years ago, the dept head told me to not fail students as much as possible--because that would affect enrolment rate!

Michael Shade : aiden - that's widespread
SusNy : Daf - here in Denmark, most higher education is free as well
cris : it happens to me too nellie
dlaufenberg : My old university pulled all of the landlines out of the dorms... because of more affordable versions of communication

Hala : It happens here too,Aiden
aiden : the video is clear, andy
Michael Shade : do I need to install - no I don't!
Nellie : I had to explain my situation at the MoodleMoot conference in Canada and they understood but most others don't care
DafneG : that's what i need
DafneG : for traffic jam
