The Wired Campus – U. of Texas System Buys Land in Second Life – The Chronicle of Higher Education

16 September 2009

The University of Texas system has purchased land in the online world Second Life, betting the investment will improve teaching and research at all of its institutions.

The university system, made up of nine universities and six health centers, doesn’t have concrete plans for how each school will use Second Life. It hopes that administrators, faculty members, researchers, and students will take advantage of the virtual real estate over the academic year.
