Research Paper Intro

In a traditional classroom, pupils are limited to the four walls that surround them. Besides the occasional field trip, students are restricted to learning by lectures and book-reading.

With having virtual classes, and no personal contact it leaves some to wonder, how effective can education in Second Life really be?
