The advantage of Second Life is being able to change the learning environment to suit the learners. The first years have got into building little homes, so I've set them the task of creating a village. A quick bit of region texture tweaking and terraforming, and look of the land now suits the task.

10am - 5pm. "Build one of the following type of trees:" task. All pilot students, plus a couple of level 3 students, worked on this project as an activity as part of the Big Draw event, which also took place real life in Leeds Met Library.

Other considerations, identified by Ian and certainly confirmed by our experience, is that the standalone become a great place for testing of ideas before moving to the commercial secondlife environment.
The unlimited uploads and 'workshop' feel allow artists to develop their ideas without worrying about costs and most space limitations. 15000 prims per with 360 physics objects is the rule of thumb at the moment.
