University of Wyoming Outreach School to offer Courses at Wyoming Entrepreneur Island

Distance education (higher) in Wyoming is kicking it up a gear at the University of Wyoming.  This semester (Spring 2011) both graduates and undergraduates will be completing learning activities at Wyoming Entrepreneur Island.  Summer will have a biology class building objects to represent what they learned from lecture and reading.  There is even a professor holding office hours at the facility.

So what does this mean for a Small Business Development Center in Second Life?  As an educational organization at heart, these activities overlap with the nonformal education we provide to entrepreneurs in Wyoming.  Also, synergy will be created between us and the university's academic division, creating more awareness on both sides.  This is how government works best in my opinion, and benefits all.

Four classrooms have been parceled and are ready for professional meetings, classes, and other activities.
