The whole workshop was great to participate in. And the materials and readings are available for anyone interested in a self-paced learning adventure. Units 1-5 for getting started on Second Life are here (Unit 2 was the most fun for me because we got to tour law- and library-related sites in Second Life):

Anyway, do encourage folks to try Second Life, and to see if this self-paced workshop might work for them.

Ciao,
Lyo.
