Real
Learning in a Virtual World
"They may be college teachers and students, but they're also pioneers—exploring
strange new worlds that exist nowhere on Earth. That's because their
classes and field trips take place only on computers, using an online
digital world called Second Life. Some 60 schools and universities have
set up shop inside Second Life—most in the past year. They join
a population that includes real-world business people, politicians,
entertainers, and more than 800,000 other 'residents' of the virtual
world."
