We want to re-brand the existing second life island to one that we can experiment with more. The general plan is to move on from large building projects to educational uses of the software.

Educational deas for using SL:

 * (Chris) Put video streams of top 5 vodcasts from a range of subjects on plinths in an area multiple avatars can watch and discuss e.g. like the looping video you get in museums
 * (Howard) use the island to extend or replace f2f events e.g. shock in second life
 * (Howard) can second life be used to cut f2f travel e.g. avoid car and airplane journeys?
 * (Howard) replace f2f events where anonymity is preferable e.g. to discuss contentious issues
 * (Howard) use for research topics e.g. where identity might be the core aspect (are large avatars bullies?)
 * Nature (the journal) have an island and claim scientist particularly enjoy the experience - maybe we can make scientist at Oxford more aware they can use the island
What the SL web pages should include:

 * what we're doing
 * how to get access
 * further reading
