Press Release Body = Delta L Printing and Media Services is not the first company to
notice that Second Life provides a great opportunity for both traditional in-class
and distance education. Delta L, however, is the first company to offer pre-packaged
solutions for education and training using Second Life technology. "The idea is to
offer tools that people could try and, perhaps, start using right away," says Dr.
Heiphetz, President of Delta L. "Unlike web sites, Second Life is made to function
in real time, so if you visit a Second Life location and there is nobody there to
show you around, you will not see the real value of what is going on. On our
Education Island we set several working tools that you can test on your own, day or
night, as well as movie screens showing movies shot during educational sessions in
Second Life. This gives educators better understanding of the promise we see in this
technology. We also offer free no-obligation Second Life tours that include both
Education Island and other locations."

The response so far was very positive. Both academia and corporate educators not
only increased their awareness of current developments in computer simulations, but
at least some of them started working on plans involving use of Second Life as a
technology and delivery mechanism for their courses.
