UCD takes first steps as Second Life university

I'm starting to wonder if I am behind the times or ahead of the power curve. Another university is starting to conduct activities in Second Life. So what are they famous for doing? Conducting a lecture with PowerPoint slides in SL, as the first Irish universtiy to do so.

Granted, this is like MIT's open courseware that opens the intellectual knowledge to a broader audience,

but it is not an innovative advance that pushes the envelope of new educational best practices. Where is the student engagement?
