In this presentation, Conklin describes how she and other faculty have used Second Life in their own university classes, highlighting "101 Ways" to use Second Life in such contexts, including sample assignments, essay topics, discussion topics, and in-world activities (scavenger hunts, building tutorials) that she has developed for use by her students.
