Recently I was highlighted in an eSchool News article regarding the use of SL in my class.  It was especially fun when one of my best friends who is a faculty member at Kent State (Lin Lin) and my Director found the article as well :)   You can read the entire article here: http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/showStory.cfm?ArticleID=6713&page=1

Many colleges have begun to incorporate Second Life into some of their courses’ curriculum, and some have held entire classes based in the virtual environment. At Seton Hall University, students taking Danielle Mirliss’s Industrial and Organizational Psychology course this fall were able to use Second Life as part of a virtual team-building exercise. In it, students were given a cover story in which they were working for a public-relations firm that was building a piece on the best places and people in the Second Life world. The class spent two hours completing a structured scavenger hunt within Second Life, followed by completing a wiki and a survey.
