Abstrakt: Immersive teaching technologies can provide an interactive and engaging environment within which students can develop problem solving skills. Virtual environments which simulate real-life activities add another dimension to the teaching-learning experience. Second Life is a virtual world where users interact through avatars (personal representations of themselves) and create content that they own. In this paper, the author discusses uses of Second Life to enhance education and learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
