Building a Collaborative Learning Community in Second Life

Streaming Media in Second Life

Streaming media in SL is used in various ways that help support learning. Even live events, audio or video, can be streamed into SL. This helps connect users in SL with physical/real world meetings, and offers opportunities such as live music performances, which are very popular in SL.
