Second Life Education UK Island

Education UK island is a not for profit educational island being constructed in Second Life to provide a ‘safe’ location for U.K. virtual education.

We are not a company or an organisation, nor are we consultants looking to cash in on Second Life [we have jobs thank you!], or are we affiliated to any other organisation with a similar name. We are purely a group of UK educationalists who have worked in UK education at practioner, manager and policy levels for a substantial number of years, who have come together and bought an island and the accompanying resources out of our own money.

We are not in receipt of any funding for this and it has been paid for entirely from our own money. Why are we doing this? Because we are very sad people who have nothing better to do with our money or spare time! We are also passionate about the use of technology to support learning and teaching - and we have been doing this for years.
