The abandoned college campuses of Second Life
- jordank 11y agoI'm not a Second Life apologist, but it seems like (from comments on the OP) that some of these environments are successful, just maybe not on a full-time basis.
- leanthonyrn 11y agoI always felt that these environments could be ported and utilized for some other type of VR game. A cross between Lost and Westworld. Trapped in a virtual world, your being hunted by some type of rogue AI.... (something like that).
- guardiangod 11y agoYou mean Reboot?
- jkimmel 11y agoThe university where I did undergrad conducted "Virtual Biology Lab" in Second Life as recently as Spring 2015. A friend of mine got stuck in one of these fake classes. His description made it sound like a terrible excuse for a learning environment, clicking a single button to magically perform dissections while constantly battling connectivity issues. Of course, they still charge students the full lab fee, as if they were actually purchasing supplies.

An hour down the road from there: if NC State, UNC Chapel Hill, and Duke had had Second Life campuses, I can only imagine the level of trolling that would have taken place since rivalries are not mellow.
