Abstract
The potential of Second Life as a teaching/learning platform was explored in the context of a multidisciplinary and international project spanning several courses. In less than three months students were able to achieve high quality recreations of historical buildings, learning about history, multimedia production and 3D modeling in virtual worlds in the process.
