Bravo on your comment on the SL session. That’s all I ever see done.
I think that the really good learning is done by people working there and creating things. The learning is not necessarily visible because it’s in the conversations that happen along with the interaction.
There is a new version 2.1 of “SSuite Office – The Fifth Element” that was released recently. You should give it a try.
