"This research bulletin examines the current state of Second Life in relationship to the educational environment. Although literature about virtual worlds can be found dating back a number of years, this bulletin will reflect on more recent works that discuss both technological and pedagogical issues. Content will also be drawn from interviews with educators and innovators who are already involved in building an in-world presence, teaching classes, and providing resources to those using Second Life (see Figure 1). Finally, now that we are instructing in a virtual world, where does pedagogy go from here?"

Hey! Love your posts on Education and language learning. I am a Latin language learner and would like to let you know of a wonderful Latin Dictionary which has been an essential tool in my studies. It is absolutely free of charge.
Keep up your beautiful work!

Hi Rebekah
I have been reading through your paper which is very interesting. I am currently exploring SL as a learning tool within an organisation and working out how and if we can use this.
whats your thoughts on how it can work in the corporate world and how would this work and what benefit this could give this.
I am also concerned as to how we aviod the 'darker' side as an organisation - so if our people go on specifically with the purpose of learning they dont encounter something that they may find offensive.
Whats your thoughts?
