This week, we'll be touring the virtual homes of two of our "nearest neighbors" from the real world--the University of New Orleans and the University of Alabama.

First is the University of New Orleans who found an interest in SL after the diaspora caused by Katrina in 2005. Their island is now centered amongst a whole grouping of Louisiana educational groups. Their virtual campus page can be found [|here].

Next, we'll visit the College of Arts and Sciences as well as the College of Education on the University of Alabama's site. The campus' press release for the College of Education site can be found [|here.]

A few things to consider...

What were the various campus' approaches to their educational environment? What struck you the most about each? Were their areas that needed improvement? If so, what? If you were an educator looking to use each campus' facilities, what might you request?
