Snore. The gentle readers of this publication know better! One day I decided to make a video comparing a couple of engaging virtual world environments and explaining how they could conceivably be used to provide added value to an online class. I wanted to speak not so much to the early adopters but to those who I felt were the silent majority of online instructors -‐-‐who know there are probably more fun ways to create a learning environment out there but who really don't know where to begin. First recording my narration with an open source program called Audacity, I then imported it into Microsoft Windows Movie Maker. Then I recorded video segments and screenshots to match the audio using the free version of a program called Fraps. Finally I uploaded the whole thing to YouTube. The final cost was approximately zero, and it runs about 13 minutes. http://tinyurl.com/k6mazuo I hope you like it, and if you think it appropriate please show it to a teacher! Collins, A. (2003).
