In fact, the use of several systems offers a redundancy and versatility that any one system can not match. Further, I suspect that a number of people on campus already are using one or more of the tools I mentioned, and would be more comfortable sticking with the familiar than learning the new.

I'm wondering if the University invested in space in a virtual tool such as "Second Life" could that provide a common meeting space for students/faculty? I don't know enough about "Second Life" to know how many courses it could actually handle or what the cost would be, but it might be worth exploring. Nice summary.

I imagine the next step will be to find someone to try it out before the pandemic hits, yes? if not faculty, perhaps a group of like-minded educational developer/collaborative technology specialists? Maybe they could start a shared research project... hmmm .... An excellent plan.
