Real life education in Second life

I found this article quite interesting. The paper in general explains what the second life is, its importance on education, tips for educators to create their own land, strategies to use SL in education, etc. When I was scanning through the paper, I read several case studies that teachers experienced when using SL such as opportunities, motivation, collaboration, or on the other hand barriers, and difficulties. One of them was about student project and they designed a plan for using SL as a tool for introducing Morocco (Casablanca island). The project also explains how SL helped communication and collaboration.
