Last month, I posted a link to the video entitled “Knowville 3D Second Life” created by SL Greylin Fairweather, in real-life a graduate student at San Jose State University School of Library & Information Science. Greylin told me then about the planned visit by KQED, the PBS station in San Francisco, to interview San Jose State University School of Library & Information Sciences faculty and students about their use of distance learning through a virtual campus on Second Life, a 16-acre island purchased by the SLIS faculty in 2005.
This program aired in Northern California on Sept 25 2007.
