Found via Bad Science - A really fun game (simulation) that let's you create things and control the physics (dynamics) of the objects and the environment. Does that make it a serious game? You pretty much need to watch the video for a while to figure out what it is. Time to get my kids started on it.

I think maybe Clark is more worried about distinquishing something from something: mostly, I worry that educational simulations will be lumped together with Second Life Not sure the point he's making. If someone scripts a simulation in Second Life, does that not count or something? That's in there?

These courses generally consist of step-by-step instructions where the learner watches a task as it is performed, and then they try the task on their own in a simulated environment. It explains details on any task and provides access to additional walkthroughs or simulations. How would you tackle this?
