What is Second Life and What can it do?

Create a safe environment to enhance experiential learning, allowing individuals to practice skills, try new ideas, and learn from their mistakes. Prepare your students or employees for real-world experiences by using Second Life as a simulation!

Students and educators can work together on the Second Life Grid from anywhere in the world as part of a globally networked virtual classroom environment. Using the Second Life Grid as a supplement to traditional classroom environments also provides new opportunities for enriching an existing curriculum. Many  educational institutions are already using the Second Life Grid, and you can find an updated list of them here.

There are many options for educators looking to explore and create learning spaces on the Second Life Grid. Here is a comprehensive list of resources to help you get started.
