As part of our (group 6's) project about crime scene investigation education in SL, I am researching some fundamental limitations of SL which could inhibit progress in VW education.
Specifically I am interested in technical details such as how small an object can be and how detailed can objects be? For example, often in crime scene investigation, the CSI looks for hairs, fingerprints, and other types of trace evidence. It does not seem feasible to incorporate these directly into an SL crime scene.
While searching the web for relevant information I came across a video discussing some other issues with SL education. Have a look
She makes a bold statement at the end which I don't necessarily agree with:
"Even if the technical problems are resolved, there is nothing to be gained by replacing lectures or discussions in a classroom on a campus when all students live within driving distance with those types of sessions in Second Life."
So in addition to limitations, what new abilities does SL bring to the table?
