This presentation was given at the CILASS Staff-Student Symposium, held on 2nd May 2008 in the Information Commons, Sheffield University. In it I describe use of Second Life, and the island funded by CILASS, for both undergraduate and Masters students. I include some reflections from those involved. It does not include an explanation of IBL (since thsi was an IBL conference), and a very brief introduction to SL, but has more detail and reflection on the interventions than some of the previous presentations.
