Global Kids' Online Leadership Program

What is Virtual World Campus? (from FireSabre's site)

Up to now there's been a steep learning curve and high minimum costs to use SL for education. To get the privacy needed to manage your educational experience, you have had to buy a private island estate -- an expensive proposition that might eat up most of your budget, and leave you with nothing but a big expanse of bare land, and no resources or expertise with which to build on it.

Virtual World Campus by FireSabre, developed in partnership with Global Kids, is an easy entry point to education in Second Life, filling the gap between what basic SL provides and what you need.

Is a whole island more than you need? Buy a parcel on the Virtual World Campus suitable for your project and within your budget.

Do you need more than just bare land? FireSabre's consultants include talented landscapers, builders, texture artists, and scripters who can work with you to create the educational environment that you want.

Do you need help with administration? We can provide custom account creation services, advise you on estate management, access permissions, and intellectual property controls, and can act as your liaison to Linden Lab.

Need an extra pair of hands? FireSabre provides professional after-the-sale support services, either hourly as needed or as part of your consulting package.
