[Edu-sig] How do virtual 3D Second Life classrooms compare to WebEx for distance learning?

[chris at seberino.org]

I don't know if this educational topic is allowed on this but here goes...

I do online math classes with video conferencing and a shared whiteboard.

I'm trying to find out if doing virtual classes in Second Life with avatars
offers any benefits.  I've read up on this topic and the reports vary.

Anyone have any experience going to a "class" in Second Life?
