The dynamos at SLENZ have published a literature review titled Engaging with Second Life: Real Education in a Virtual World.
Written by Ben Salt, Clare Atkins and Leigh Blackall, it provides a superb overview of research undertaken to date and covers a wide range of education-related topics including learning design in Second Life, applying behavioural and cognitive theories and the science applications of virtual worlds.
If you’re an educator or someone just interested in the academic underpinnings or work being done in Second Life, this is a more than worthwhile read.
