I spent some time tonight in Second Life with Dan Winckler, and I’m seriously intrigued by the educational potential of the environment. Now seems like a very, very good time to do some research, so we’re playing a little with Moodle at LEARN, and I’m goofing with some ideas that might bear some fruit.

SL isn’t all that intuitive yet, but it seems like a rapidly developing community and I get the sense that a lot of people in there are interested in some of the same kinds of things– freedom of information, collaborative learning, etc. I wonder about the feasibility of having a LEARN NC event in SL sometime soon, as a tool for recruituing prospective students.
