Online Role Play (cont)
Possible enviroments (all web-based):
- standard LMS (e.g. Blackboard, Moodle)
- typically lose "immersive" aspect (e.g. login via sid not role)
- perhaps LMS can be "tweaked" (e.g. Moodle roleplay module)
- purpose-built role-play "engine"
- Fablusi: generic "engine" with complex setup for teacher
- MEPS: easy setup for teacher, needs tech support
- ORE: generic engine, with easy setup (coming late 2010)
