This short article is an interview with John Lester, the former Education Ambassador for Second Life. Most noteworthy is the link within the article to ReactionGrid, the open source Second Life alternative. In the comments section there is a link to Indiana Wesleyan University's virtual world for its MBA students -- done virtually and completely online. Cool!

YouTube channel - Avatars & 3D Viewers in SL and OS VWs. You are creating a Second Life account / avatar... so, what SL Viewer should you use? SL Viewer Version 3, 2, 1.23 or one of the alternate 3rd party viewers such as Imprudence or Phoenix. I'll go for Imprudence since I'm on a mac and if you are accessing second life and OpenSim, it is the only option for me on a mac. Good series of vidtuts from UCDavis

Accredited 3D homeschool (middle and high school) This page features a video overview. Looks like they mash up their virtual worlds with a Moodle CMS. What do you think of how they use the virtual world component? Good, bad? other? Not sure what virtual world platform they're using.

This looks very interesting...I don't know how effective it would be. The student would have to be very self motivated to be successful. It does look like a type of Moodle they are using. I think this could be a good alternative for homeschool students though.
