Very cool. Second Life has launched their new education microsite. Hundreds of universities worldwide have been using Second Life for both simulation, immersive education, and new forms of distance education. This is the first time, that I have seen these ideas encapsulated into one resource section on the Second Life website.
The new site contains some initial case studies (on which Rita J. King was the writer) exploring the efficacy of virtual worlds in education. The current profile include the work of Ken Hudson at Loyalist College near Toronto, Canada, and the New Media Consortium in Austin, Texas and the Open University in the United Kingdom.
