An education on Second Life

People use Second Life for many different things, meeting people, making money and now you can get yourself a decent education from the many places of learning that are scattered around the SL site.

Not all of these sites offer a traditional education as in learning a specific skill or gaining a qualification, but rather a variation of what happens on SL. There are universities and colleges as well a few places where you can be shown how to do things.

These sites are:
