DISCUSSION
We were discussing about Leesa’s question: can art education use Second Life as an educational environment without teaching Second Life skills. Lilly suggested if the instructor had taught regular online course, it might be easier to request a online course by using the virtual world. Kristy stated one of the online course she took was held in Second Life, and the instructor did not teach any Second Life skill before or during the class time.
