Professor Dawley is not the only educator sharing information in Second Life for other designers to observe and simulate. There are all sorts of groups and lists that a resident can join such as the “Second Life Research List” (SLRL). This scholarly discussion list allows in-world researchers to share information about their in-world findings. Many new residents, interested in education and research in Second Life, will join a discussion, group, or course in-world just to lurk and observe. By doing this they can use the knowledge gained by observation to move on to the next important stage of social learning theory, imitation.
