Distant Online Learning Students Hold 'Virtual graduation' - BBC

Students will be able to download virtual robes for their avatars.A university is to hold a "virtual graduation ceremony" for students on a distance learning course. Edinburgh University will broadcast the ceremony at its McEwan Hall on to the Second Life web community. The move will ensure students on its E-Learning course who are unable to travel to Edinburgh do not miss out on the graduation celebrations. They will be able to download robes for their online avatars, and gather in a virtual bar after the ceremony.
