This paper introduces the term Open Virtual Worlds and argues that they are 'unclaimed educational spaces', which provide a valuable tool for researching pedagogy. Having explored these claims the way in which Teen Second Life® virtual world was used for pedagogical experimentation in the initial phases of the Schome Park Programme is described. Four sets of pedagogical dimensions that emerged are presented and illustrated with examples from the Schome Park Programme. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2009.
