My principle reason for the whole venture is to see how this new semi-immersed virtual reality can be utilised for teaching and learning, even as an extension to our continuing work with Moodle. Just lately a lot of my time has been taken up with Second Life, if you have yet to try virtual worlds then let me recommend the experience.

Well start of the new year here and time to commence some new work on e-Learning, a term that I must confess I am looking forward in many ways to replacing or at least redefining. Is it time I wonder to startup the compilation of such mythological objections that we so often hear, and perhaps use it as an e-Learning myth of the day campaign?
