Newspaper coverage of Athabasca University's new virtual learning centre and its work on systems like Second Life. Some nice quotes from AVP Rory McGreal on games in learning: "What they do is they grab the students, they hold their attention, and the students learn." What's interesting about this article is the way the author needed to check with some source from a name university south of the border, apparently selecting at random "Vladlen Koltun, a computer science professor at Standford (sic) University" to make a comment.
