Second Life - Education

Second Life is a virtual world that can also be used for educational purposes too. It gives us an opportunity to join interactive classes and visit international education related centers such as erasmus office, where you are able to gain information really quickly about it and the things it provides for you. With the interactive, online classes, you are able to join them from anywhere in the world and all you need is access to internet. It has also been shown that in these classes as students are less anxious they are more willing to participate in the class since it's only a virtual world, even though technically it is representing everyone from the real world.

Holistic learning not only focuses on the mental development, but also on the psychological, social and the emotional growth of the learner.
