Hello Shapira


My 'Thorntress' character was simply not working out! It is too bad I was up to level 12.


My new character is an Elf, Druid, her name is Shapira and she is fabulous. She is more powerful than my previous character and she levels up faster. Interestingly, I feel connected to this character.


I have spent several postings talking about my experience as a player , tonight I would like to take a moment to reflect on the potential use of Virtual Learning Environments in academia. This environment is only useful if activities are aligned with the course pedagogy. It offers the opportunity for students to develop cognitive skills and social negotiation. World of Warcraft for example provides an environment that capture students engagement with its use of 3D graphics, audio, video and chat.
