I suspect that Second Life could have been used instead of attending a lecture at CityU. This was a drama session where students sat around a table and did a skit. Most people on the course live close to the campus, it takes me at least an hour each way. When you factor time and transport costs into things SL might well have much wider applications. Years ago children in Australia would study by radio if they lived in the outback. Maybe much work or study could be done without leaving your keyboard. It is not quite the same as a face to face meeting but it could save time and money.
