Abstract

This paper is a report on the findings of a study conducted on a doctoral level virtual course utilizing Second Life for usability and interaction. The project from this course allowed for further exploration of training servicemen from other nations in decision making techniques to include a level of familiarization with various technologies. As Second Life is a low cost tool this could prove invaluable to offset training costs to involve getting servicemen to understand technologies through simulation. Currently the available tools are costly and as government looks for ways to save costs Second Life can prove to be a valuable tool. As the future of web interaction is virtual it becomes essential that organizations take advantage of the available tools at their disposal. In the book Technology's Promise: Expert Knowledge on the Transformation of Business and Society written by W. E. Halah mentioned is the shift of societies online. As this shift occurs in the civilian sector it must also begin to occur the government sector additionally.
