Thanks for your comment, Pat – I don’t think people think that Second Life will replace face-to-face classes, but when distance learning is the only or preferred choice of study, for me it offers a more humanistic experience than any flat web alternative for synchronous communication – the rich visuals and the fact that it is a 3D space mean there’s a sense of place that you just don’t get any other way (at least for the moment) – even when you have webcams and can see the people you are talking to. I prefer Second Life. It will be interesting to see what develops though.

Thanks for giving me food for thought. I’m so glad that people are playing more games there in Europe than they are here in the US. I’m heard of WoW but I haven’t heard it talked up as much here as you say it is there. I have also been on things like second life but avatars still don’t seem to make up for real life. I still think that by reading blogs, websites, joining in on forums does not replace the face to face interactions. Maybe if it could be done as synchronous interactions with webcams, it would be better. I appreciate the links to more information too.
