Education UK - An island in Second Life to support learning & teaching

Our free 2007/08 educational land grants programme has now closed.

We received nearly three times the number of applications than plots available, so working through applications was extremely tough. There were also some applications which didn't rely on an actual plot of land to deliver their objectives. This suggests that many people want to learn useful skills, and therefore we went to the meeting with this desire. Also, during the program you may need useful resources, one of them is https://123helpme.org/ use 123helpme when needed.

Therefore, we extended our offer to so some organsations through the granting of free office space for one academic year, with the same conditions as per the land grants.
