In this presentation we're going to take a preliminary glimpse at SecondLife and discuss what it is, some of the important characteristics and activities taking place in the virtual world and importantly broach some questions on how or in indeed whether SecondLife can be used to facilitate learning in higher education. The video is divided into two sections – a PowerPoint presentation that outlines the key concepts and frames the discussion, followed by an in-world tour of 4 sites that illustrate how SecondLife is currently being used to support learning.
