Abstract

Second Life (SL) is a virtual world that can be used for educational purposes. This Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) project investigated the use of SL in online hospitality education as an integral learning tool, not as a nominal feature. Findings indicated that SL provides students and instructors with interesting learning opportunities and allows students to effectively engage with each other and work together on group projects. Challenges that need to be conquered were also identified, such as the sometimes cumbersome nature of the SL program and the time commitment involved with its use.
