UK HE/FE SL developers can submit too…

This hasn’t happened with previous snapshots. A clutch of independent Second Life developers have asked if they can submit their comments to the latest snapshot. I guess so – as long it’s relevant to UK Higher and Further Education, and isn’t just a promotion for their services!

It is an additional topic of interest. How much of these Second Life developments in HE/FE are being done by academics – and how much by external companies? Why are some academics outsourcing this kind of work (I’m guessing that the amount of time required to both learn and develop is a major factor)? And are these independent developers making lots more money than the academics?
