Dear Colleagues,

The ICLS conference promises to be an exciting and stimulating event. I
encourage you to attend and am passing on the details from the conference
organizers below.

But first, I want to encourage you to participate in the following workshop
if you are interested in studying the use of chat for collaborative learning
and knowledge building:

* "Interaction & Learning in Chat Environments: A Workshop with Data
Sessions"
* all day Tuesday, June 27, the day before the start of the main
conference.
* If you want to bring some chat log data for collaborative analysis,
please email me at <Gerry.Stahl@drexel.edu> soon and sign up for the
workshop.

I hope to see you at ICLS,
Gerry
