The Second Life Official Site and place to download the software

excellent, but silent, slideshow on starting out in Second Life for educators

A virtual medical Center tour at the University of Auckland. The Second Life Tour is led by project director Scott Diener, Ph.D.

This is a short video outlining how staff and students can use Second Life to support teaching, learning and collaborative working.

This video (created by Claudia Kimbrough) shows the use of Second Life in two College of Management courses. This innovative teaching and learning environment is a part of NC State University's LITRE (Learning in a Technology Rich Environment) program and a part of VOLT: Virtual Online Learning and Teaching, a comprehensive, collaborative project on online learning led by Len Annetta.

This Youtube was developed by Chris Keesey at Ohio University. I met him as the 2009 Sloan C conference. This video was designed to promote the use of second life at the Ohio University Second Life Campus; a virtual campus featuring multiple learning and collaboration opportunities for students on the Ohio campus and all over the world.

Good talk about issues surrounding digital culture, social media, and virtual worlds.

This site lists three case studies of how groups are using Second Life in education (The New Media Consortium, the Open University, and Loyalist College), as well as lists a few good links to more resources
