Tool on your desktop
“ Whilst OpenSim is free, it's 'free' like Moodle is free, and I don't have servers, technical support or developers to install and maintain it, so it's not an option.”
“ not seen anything that suggests the same potential [as Second Life] really. I've also had a look at Blue Mars, as our IDI are looking at it, but again, I don't see it as a tool to put on an academic's desktop”
