Basically Second Life is the Matrix , as in, “Wake Up Neo, the Matrix has you.” You can learn a little more by checking out my previous entry on the subject, Get a "Second Life."

This involves actively redesigning and rethinking the teaching and learning relationship, and often including technology as a key partner. To take this a step further, it’s no longer acceptable to take the same content and simply give it a fresh coat of paint with technology. Where to Begin?

Lectures, information dump & knowledge test, in general content presentation doesn’t lead to meaningful change in behavior in the absence of activity. Just accepting what a SME says and making content around that is likely to lead to a content dump and lack of behavior change. This holds doubly true for technology objects.
