Welcome to ASTD in Second Life

As of January 2011, ASTD has discontinued ASTD Island on Second life. Please visit our partner Train for Success for the latest in training and learning in virtual worlds.

Second Life is one of many 3D virtual worlds that can improve communication, learning and understanding between people that would otherwise be separated by geography, personality type, or work title.

ASTD acknowledges that 3D communication tools offer the potential for richer communication than 2D tools such as email, instant messaging, and blogs. Virtual environments and relationships will almost certainly be part of learning in the future.
