CyberOne: Law in the Court of Public Opinion - Harvard Law in the Court of Public Opinion. Was offered jointly in the Harvard Law School and the Harvard Extension School in the fall semester, 2006. Throughout the course students studied many different media technologies to understand how their inherent characteristics and modes of distribution affect the arguments that are made using them. Project-based assignments used these technologies to make their own arguments http://terranova.blogs.com/terra_nova/2007/05/teaching_in_sec.html http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/cyberone/

Ithaca College Most students are used to presentations from real people, in person or via satellite. But in Professor Kim Gregson’s class, under the guise of his avatar, Aaron Uhrmacher from Text 100 Public Relations Company came to an Ithaca College island on Second Life to present to a class, also in the guise of their avatars. No plane ticket needed to get to this island. There in a virtual world, students’ avatars from Gregson’s Qualitative Research class sat in a virtual amphitheatre on the side of a hill while Uhrmacher presented them with real-world information. After the presentation, the students typed in questions and Uhrmacher responded verbally. http://www.ithaca.edu/news/release.php?id=2212

Graduate students have developed four science projects for the students so far. In one, participants raft downriver to the ocean, passing through various climate checkpoints that point out environmental features like glaciers.
