Second Life

After a recent visit to Second Life I thought about various ways it could be used to promote educational initiatives designed for adult learners (i.e. over 25 years old). It was disconcerting to see all of the available educational resources on Second Life, while realizing that many older students do not have the computer hardware/software tools, ISP connectivity, and technical skills needed to access valuable informational assets. Mesmerized by all of the possible uses I found myself wondering how I might be able to exploit Second Life to achieve personal and professional learning objectives.
