The Schome Initiative is a long-term project, based at The Open University, which is developing a new form of educational system.
An important element of the Schome Initiative is exploring the possibilities for learning and teaching in virtual worlds.
The Schome Park Programme is based on the Teen Grid of Second Life and brings together teenagers based in the US and the UK.

people and become a new person. I've learnt so much that I didn't know before, it's amazing what a really close community can do.’
• ‘Everyone is learning - even the staff, and so age is not an issue, and it means that everyone is involved and learning together.’
