Virtual Campus ≠ Physical Campus

A virtual campus is a digital educational environment. It should not be treated as synonymous with a conventional physical campus.

Virtual Campus

Digital/3D environment
Online interaction and communication
Virtual classrooms and events
Remote participation
Learning, teaching, collaboration and research can occur online

Physical Campus

Real-world buildings and land
Physical classrooms and facilities
On-site presence
Face-to-face activities
Physical infrastructure and facilities management

What this evidence can — and cannot — establish

The Second Life records provide evidence for the existence and use of virtual educational environments. They do not by themselves establish an institution's legal status, government recognition, accreditation, or whether a particular jurisdiction legally requires a physical campus.
