This paper presents some observations on the educational possibilities offered by the multi-user virtual environment (MUVE), Second Life (SL) and is based on the author’s interactions and experiences as a Second Life resident, educator and mentor. Beginning as an individual exploration of a new technology, primarily for pleasure but always with an opportunistic eye for education, the author has spent hundreds of hours in Second Life over the past 18 months and reports on the special nature of this environment and the challenges that it presents for educators. These observations are based primarily on her experiences, supported by reference to the small but growing literature base and are therefore necessarily subjective and intended to be thought provoking rather than definitive.
