Saint Leo University in Second LifeSecond LifeŽ is a 'multi-user virtual environment' (MUVE) in which users of an online 3d space can interact through avatars using voice and text chat. Users called 'Residents', also can explore, meet other Residents, socialize, participate in individual and group activities, as well as create and trade virtual items and services. Second Life offers educators and students an online environment to meet face to face, dramatically changing the dynamic of online meetings and education. Since Second Life is used by people all over the world, it presents an opportunity to engage in cross-cultural networking and research within a global community. The Second Life virtual world is a dynamic 3d space and immersive learning environment that can be created and experienced by student or teacher. The Saint Leo University Second Life Virtual Campus is a place for all students, staff, faculty, parents, and friends can come together explore this interact and collaborate in Second Life.
