NMC Virtual Worlds

"NMC Virtual Worlds is a program of the New Media Consortium, an international 501(c3) not-for-profit consortium of more than 225 world-class colleges, universities, and research centers. The mission of NMC Virtual Worlds is to help learning-focused organizations to explore the potential of virtual spaces in a manner that builds on community knowledge, is cost-effective, and ensures high quality. NMC Virtual Worlds provides a palette of premium custom services for education and training, and conducts an ongoing series of events, conferences, and programs. A suite of pro bono services and fellowships are a central aspect of the organization, and reflect our deep commitment to learning and access."

The NMC is offering parcels of land in SL as part of their NMC campus there. Each of these is a community with educational goals that have lots available to lease for faculty, academic departments and any institution that is "learning-focused." The community/sharing aspect of this is a big plus as collaboration really is a key word in the SL educational community and as I have learned myself - a lot more fun!
