With much talk and hype about Second Life and the benefits that it can have for creating interactive learning environment, why might begin to wonder where the examples of using Second Life are. For an excellent use case of Second Life, I would refer readers to Dr. Karl Kapp's recent blogs over the summer about a class that he conducted entirely in Second Life (and also integrated some Web 2.0 technologies).
