As in the real world, you can only control what you own. However, your organization may consider providing an orientation session, or informational literature that explains how to avoid overtly offensive sites and includes a description of the “darker side” of SL. To mitigate potential liability, if that is a concern, have the students sign a disclaimer. For example the disclaimer could specify that, “during the learning program, [the participant] will teleport directly to, and will remain on the organization’s SL site.” Alternatively, perhaps a more sedate venue, such as Protosphere, may be more appropriate for your organization. http://www.protonmedia.com/
