The document discusses the educational uses of Second Life, a 3D virtual world. It lists many potential educational applications, such as distance education, simulations, exhibits, roleplays, and skills training. Specific uses mentioned include lectures, tutorials, group discussions, and social spaces for students to study. Research on educational spaces in Second Life found that more traditional lecture halls were less effective for learning than less formal spaces where students could relax and enjoy presentations.
