Second Life, Webkinz, and the Future of Virtual Worlds in Higher Education.
World Wide Web, or so called Internet, as a technology of information transmitting and a new media, has become the focus being paid much attention by the whole world in the twenty first century. In our time the information technology has dramatically penetrated into every area of society. It has been changing the way in a striking speed that people work, study, think, communicate, and even the style of living. I have heard a lot about Second life and Webkinz and its applications in higher education. I became curious about this, so, I decided to make a research.
