From NMC-Campus

The NMC Campus is a virtual laboratory available to NMC member institutions and their faculty. Located in the virtual world of Second Life, it has been carefully constructed to provide researchers and students dozens of prebuilt settings for experiments in social interaction in 3-D space (more about NMC Campus...).

This site provides documentation and other helpful information for campus visitors (note our new address http://sl.nmc.org/wiki). As a wiki, we hope our users will help us create some of the content.
