Teaching Chemistry with Second Life
January 9th, 2008 by Neal Caidin
An interview with Drexel University’s Jean-Claude Bradley discusses educational uses of Second Life. Jean-Claude Bradley also indicates when Second Life might not be appropriate to use. Among the benefits mentioned are that students get to meet other students and teachers from around the world who are attracted by the content. Among the constraints is that students aren’t always familiar, interested or motivated to use Second Life. For Jean-Claude Bradley that translates to a strategy of providing Second Life as another channel for learning, not a required component of his class. He also wouldn’t use it for a course with a large number of students.

Why is this link on the Duke Today board? I cannot access it from the link above, and as far as I can tell it has no connection to Duke.
