PolyU has become the first institution in Hong Kong to have an entire virtual campus in Second Life.

Staff and students are now able to enhance their learning and teaching experience on the Second Life platform through virtual tutorials and lectures, virtual assignments and placements. With Second Life, staff can collaborate with academics and researchers from around the world while academics from the US, Japan, Australia, or the UK can give lectures to students at PolyU from their hometown.

In September, the University will play host to the Hong Kong chapter of SLActions 2009, the world’s first 48-hour non-stop academic conference in Second Life. Details >>
