Several weeks ago, we formed a group for/about people who use SL for some part of their RL work. Many people in this group use SL for educational purposes. So far, we've had one in-world presentation by Gwyneth Llewelyn and Moon Adamant called "c-Learning - Edutainment in Second Life". They are doing some exciting work, and this presentation was well attended... about 30 ppl attended even without money balls and rating contests. We are planning another in-world presentation later in July, which will focus on the use of SL in higher education.
Here's a short blurb about our group if you're interested in joining.

Do you use SL for your RL work? There has been an increasing trend in crossover between SL and RL, in academia, corporate training, for special needs populations, etc., so if you're part of the "wave" we'd love to meet you! Our group is a discussion and ideas-sharing forum for those interested in using Second Life for part of their Real Life work. What is being done? Who is doing it? What are the possibilites, issues, concerns, solutions, etc.? What works, what doesn't? If you're interested, look us up in "Groups" and IM one of the officers to join.
