What is Second Life and how does it help with education?
Second Life (SL), developed by Linden Labs, provides a unique and flexible environment for instructors who are interested in online learning and computer-supported collaborative work. It is a downloadable program that enables users to interact with each other through user-created avatars and provides an high level of social interactivity between users. SL is not a game but rather an immersive learning simulation that allows the users to learn new skills, learn in a social environment, and to learn the cultures and manners of a virtual environment. Users may build objects, chat with each other, and learn and network with others from around the globe.
