1. The document discusses using Second Life for teaching nursing and other courses at Tacoma Community College. 2. It describes setting up simulations and support groups in Second Life to help students with collaboration, decision making, and applying theoretical knowledge to chronic health problems. 3. Preliminary results suggest student performance improved on test questions after simulations, but more research is needed to fully measure the impact of teaching in Second Life.
