During these two days the audience were be able to hear about advances and trends in immersive education.
There were several talks and round tables in which specialists showed different aspects of virtual worlds, augmented reality and 3D environments and their application to the educational process and methodology. This had the presence of researchers from different parts of the world, eMadrid project members and representatives of other Spanish universities.
The Immersive Education Intiative, a Media Grid project, is based on international collaboration between universities, colleges, research institutes, consortia and companies.

Nicole Yankelovich (Open Wonderland Foundation, Boston, MA, USA) (remote), David Maroto, Diego Morillo (U Carlos III Madrid, Spain): Hands-On Workshop: Learn to Build an Open Wonderland World
In this two-hour hands-on world building session, we will start by reviewing a range of Open Wonderland features. For the bulk of the session, we will focus on building a virtual space from scratch. By the end of the session, attendees will be able to add content to the world including graphics, video, slide shows, 3D models, and shared application, arrange that content, and add "capabilities" such as audio, tooltips, clickable links, security, and a variety of others.
For this workshop you are encouraged to bring your own laptop. Windows, Mac, or Linux are all fine, but please check the minimum system requirements in the Open Wonderland FAQ to be sure your laptop will work (http://openwonderland.org/about/faq#Download). This workshop is open to everybody, also for not registered at the Summit, but there is a limit of 15 participants.
