Our intent at vTSTC is to move online learning from being a process driven exercise to experience based learning. We believe it is through experience our students will excel in their academic and professional achievements. So in other words, you are right on track by asking what about the college experience and can it be created in a virtual environment. I will let you be the judge. Feel free to send me an in-world IM for a tour at your convenience. (SL Name: ChrisG Techsan) Doubledown: I would like to invite you to our virtual campus.

First I think, there's no way someone can receive the same 1st person hands on real life experience education in SL. Then, my second thought is: how much of my time in SL could I count as college credit. And, where do i sign up to get my diploma. (i probably shouldn't start sentences with 'and' and end questions with periods.) Anyhoo, "graduating from college" yeah, some people like paying an institution tons of money in order to get a degree and a notch on the resume.... other people love the experience of college. ...i'm just wondering if you can truly ever graduate from a university if you've never spent 4 years with your real life self on their campus Wow, so many questions and thoughts come to mind.
