I read some articles in Google reader this morning and came across the info that Second Life is bracing for the million new users of Second Life that are expected to join this week once CSI NY is watched. It appears that the characters enter Second Life to solve the weekly murder. There's even a You Tube promo for the show!
This resulted in me looking at Second Life in Education. Delicious had lots of results and I've ended up being blown away in SLEducation by the uses. These include mock trials, The Alliance Second Life Library project is exploring the use of virtual worlds to promote and provide online library services, there are numerous sailing clubs where residents can learn to sail and transfer skills learnt into real life sailing skills. Residents are creating displays and exhibits on a broad range of subject areas and using images, text and multimedia they are able to create dynamic, interactive displays and exhibits which avatars can move in and interact with. Students in another example undertake a range of role-plays and simulations, practicing real life skills in a virtual space or exploring situations that they could not undertake safely or easily in the real world.
I'll look at the other sites later today or tomorrow... I think that each time, I'll take longer than 15 minutes!
