I&#8217;ll continue participating in the Wonderland/Immersive Education development community as a user and potential content builder. Cathy (Mari) [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m connected to their and the Media Grid&#8217;s conversations, but we&#8217;re also looking at this with new eyes, with building some capacity to support a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I began getting a sense of the bigger picture, let&#8217;s say the beyond Second Life view, of virtual worlds doing my dissertation lit review. Now that we&#8217;re actively looking into AW, I&#8217;ve come across a mountain of information. Projects, research, people, consortiums, conferences, all involved in this stuff in the late 90s, early  2000s.

There are over 110 institutions from around the world in their education  universe.

Wonderland is self-described as primitive in terms of development, but given that it was only launched in June it&#8217;s quite impressive and full of potential. What&#8217;s most [...]]]></description>

Digado said this about his second dip into Lively.

This may be more the case in world-building environments than in gaming environments. It&#8217;s not only that learning is an embodied and social endeavor, turned topsy-turvy now that we can control avatars in a [...]]]></description>
