In July, Jacqueline Jones created a post on her Instructional Design Blog reviewing several virtual worlds including SmallWorlds.com. Her AR project focuses on role-playing in the virtual classroom and in this post she does an excellent job highlighting key features as well as some of the limitations of several virtual worlds. She includes embedded videos and several resources.
Check out her blog and her most recent entry which links you to Mark Krynsky's blog post, Lifestream Blog Reviews SmallWorlds and share your ideas for using virtual worlds in your learning environment.
I'm so anxious to see you project emerge. Smallworlds looks like a fantastic VR world for collaboration and pedagogy.
