Why Virtual?

• Any place that needs security is reluctant to admit a group of strangers.
• A virtual world is available for practice all the time.
• Students with mobility limitations are not impeded. 
• An unsupervised group can enter for a practice security review at any time.  
• Risky conditions that would be cleared from a data center can stay in a virtual world.
• Training places can be scripted to give hints or feedback.  
• Multiple training sites can be created as needed.  
• All sites are local (in the computer) for the learners.  
• Test places can be secured from prior access and produced as needed.
• Test performance can produce recorded results.
