This past week a friend and I took a self guided tour of the Second Life campus of Northern Illinois University. The campus was a nice looking place but seemed very small compared to the campus of East Carolina University, which made me wonder if other universities use or still use Second Life as an educational platform in the way ECU does. It turned out that many of the classrooms were located in the sky and so that is why the campus appeared to be small. The campus was mostly deserted except for one person playing in the sand box with a car that they rezzed in. My friend and I also took the opportunity to do some building while we were there. I had gotten a free beach house in a box at the Freebie Galaxy and had wanted to try it out and see what it looked like. It was HUGE! I had to delete it peice by peice before I left the campus. Kind of a neat experience regardless.
