Educational uses of Second Life

A good resource on how educational virtual worlds are developing, with examples.

One project is Paluma Bay Resort, a virtual holiday resort. Undertaken in 2006, the GippsTAFE Victoria's (Australia)'Virtual Worlds – Real Learning!' project explored how Second Life could be used to achieve real life learning outcomes. Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) students completed their 'Work Related Skills' unit by 'becoming' the staff at the Paluma Bay Resort.
