Popis:	Using funds provided through the Medical Library Association's 2008 Donald A. B. Lindberg Research Fellowship, librarians at Eastern University conducted a survey to assess nurses’ attitudes and perceptions about (1) the effectiveness of distance education in delivering academic content; (2) whether distance learning promoted socialization and fostered professionalization; and (3) the use of an online immersive environment, such as the virtual world Second Life, as a tool to deliver distance education. Results from the survey indicated a positive attitude from nurses at all academic levels toward distance education and a willingness to explore the academic use of a virtual environment.
