Aleph's Educational Policy inSL

Obviously Second Life was not contemplated when legislation and regulations regarding academic conduct were promulgated. Discussions on the WEB and Second Life Blogs regarding the impact of FERPA, the Teach Act, individual institutional policies, and Linden Lab's TOS,COS and other policies are laced with frustration. Many of us are being tasked with creating guidelines and helping incorporate Second Life into existing policies and procedures of our institutions; hopefully, we can eventually provide some clarity to even the disagreements.
