Second Life had a new announcement at Internet2 yesterday – Cisco is now providing access to their content in Second Life. Not only is this great for education but a nice nudge to those who may not yet see the emerging movement in this virtual world.
Engaging students in virtual worlds for education is the goal of this session. This is also to push 2nd life as a broad communication for engaging faculty for virtual educational programming.
