Are you still trying to figure out what Second
Life is?

Student Comments
• “I really enjoyed the fact that we incorporated Second Life into the course. I also think it is very useful to work in virtual teams to complete a project(despite the fact the it can be a pain:])”
• “I would have liked to see more required participation within Second Life.
• “Overall, I think Second Life provides endless opportunities to explore and learn about an infinite number of subjects.”
