A good friend of mine was discussing his undergrad class at Clemson University and a professor who had made second life part of the face-to-face curriculum and in their off hours they could have study groups or pickup class assignments if they had missed a class.
I thought that this was an interesting idea to start face-to-face and then move into a virtual classroom that allows students to record and keep learning. This is also perhaps a bridge to allow traditional format students see the opportunity available in the virtual world and perhaps they can get the best of both worlds.

I post a comment before a I knew much about SL, I have been stealing time to look into it! No questions for me I am headed in this direction and like you mention starting off F+F and then moving to SL, my goal is by the end of next year to play with some student. I grew up in NY but know am in a small rural town we are becoming charter and working on ideas like this so I get apply some of the stuff I learn at night to my day life.
