I love the idea of having a virtual classroom in SL, as presented in "At colleges, real learning in a virtual world." I do think it would be difficult to get used to at first, but if the professor took a week at the beginning of the semester to familiarize students with SL, it should prove to be very beneficial.
Students also have the opportunity to be "in" a class with students from around the world. This once-in-a-lifetime experience offers many different perspectives and a greater learning opportunity.
Students in the virtual classroom can also decorate their "classroom" however they like. This offers a great way to be creative and to work together with other students.
Too bad I'm graduating after this semester, I would try to persuade the administration to try this concept.
