On Friday morning, Lenoir County Schools had five students attending their first class at East Carolina University but they were locked out of the lecture hall. However, they weren’t stranded out in the cold; they weren’t even in Greenville. The students — who are earning three credit hours in a website design and maintenance course — were sitting comfortably in Kinston High School’s Cyber Campus. Although distance education is nothing new, the Kinston High seniors are taking a new approach to online education, the Early College Second Life Program. The students are attending a virtual college — built to resemble ECU — in the computer simulation Second Life.
