[Offtopic] Fwd: Literature Factory invitation (Second Life)

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Yep .. QUT have a virtual campus where a researcher is running some
interesting projects.
I had a fascinating whilst sitting on a dragon on the roof of their main
info building.
Chap from the ABC bought one of my virtual water tanks for their Eco House.
Doubt that schools would have enough bandwidth, very demanding although
quite
ripe for educators to dip their toes into the medium from home.
