Spring Semester Classes in SL

There are four classes planning to be in Second Life this semester.

The Radiks are the only student group currently in SL. They're from Elon University in NC, and are watching movies like The Matrix, learning about online communities and collaborative communication (which includes blogs and wikis, in addition to SL), and generally thinking about what it means to be human in a digital world.

There are three other classes planning to be in SL this semester.

First is a small group of post graduate architecture students from UC Berkeley (last name Bear). They will be focused on building in SL. They should be starting this week.

Second is a group of 18 from the University of Illinois (last name Walkabout). Again, none of them will be writing research papers, and Second Life is only one of several online experiences they're involved with. They will also be starting this week.

Finally, there's a group from the University of Nevada Reno which is studying digital media. I don't have a last name or a start date for them yet, but will add that info as soon as I get it. Their interest is in "a space for creative, experimental art and installation".
