The multi-user immersive virtual environment Second Life® has been used to teach radiology to third-year medical students during confinement due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. In general, the students, who are digital natives nowadays, have found it easy to adapt to the use of the 3D platform. Although there have been some technical limitations, both students and teachers involved have rated the use of Second Life® during the confinement very highly.
