This document discusses a study conducted by Jeremy Kemp on whether graduate students in library and information science will accept coursework in 3D immersive virtual spaces like Second Life. It provides background on Second Life and discusses factors that influence student acceptance of these virtual environments for courses like perceptions of ease of use and enjoyment. The results found that attitude, specifically that the experience was fun, most strongly correlated with students' intent to use these virtual spaces in the future.
