N2 - This article describes the process used for developing a simulation in Second Life ® , a multiuser virtual environment. The aim of the project was to increase our awareness and skills in using Second Life as a teaching medium and to teach postpartum hemorrhage management to undergraduate nursing students. The experience gained in this project is the result of a collaborative teaching effort between two university nursing programs. This article presents a summary of the key lessons learned from our project. These lessons include the importance of planning and adequate preparation to ensure a focus on learning, the need for orientation to Second Life, and the benefits of working collaboratively.
