This Technical Glossary video aims to give an overview of the possibilities of the online virtual world, Second Life http://secondlife.com from Linden Lab. Downloading and installing the software, setting up an avatar, and a quick overview of the virtual world is discussed.

I use these videos in the e-learning module of the University of Bristol's Teaching and Learning in Higher Education programme. Part of the module allows academics to explore areas of e-learning that interest them, and this excellent selection of video case studies offers a range of examples of practice. Staff can explore individual cases which they are encouraged to analyse in terms of why technology is being used, what are the benefits and potential issues. This reflection is then used to help inform their own planning of a technology-enhanced learning activity.
