The welcome speech by Sugata Mitra is really inspirational: "In 1999, Sugata dug a hole in a wall bordering an urban slum in New Delhi, installed an internet-connected PC, and left it there (with a hidden camera filming the area)."
Several experiments are presented demonstrating that children have the intuitive ability to use the computer for learning.
In the Virtual Learning Environments session, the second presentation is: Virtual fun and challenge: Case study of learning Cybercrime in Second Life. Details here.
The debate of the moment is related to avatars: There are several relationships with your avatar. Some speak about it as “I”, some as “he” or “she” (C. Sinclair in the "Inhabiting The Virtual: Challenging Relationships In Networked Learning" presentation within the Virtual Learning Environments session).
