Extract:

"The UWA presence is comprehensive and caters to every strata of society, ranging from the general public, current and prospective students, alumni, visitors, and researchers," Jegathesan said.

Being open within the virtual world, instead of just opening up a university and closing it to everyone except our students, was another important aspect of UWA in Second Life and made the online campus as accessible as its real campus, he added."
