After a week of dealing with the mundane, it’s time to get out of muggle-space and begin looking at some magic. This article provides a nice kickoff.
Exotic Tools.
Exotic is probably not a good choice of term. Maybe we should call these advanced, or specialized, tools. The reality is that the numbers of tools available in online environments has mushroomed in the last five years.
As I was re-reading this, I was surprised that it was still largely relevant. In a knowledge domain where things are moving so fast, not much has changed here.
What about you? Exotic tools?

After reading about the MOOs and MUDs, I knew that I was not a gamer but I am really going to have to play catch up! I have used several online games and simulations in my classes but not anything like this. Guess this reverts back to that “learner” statement so let’s hit the web.

WEll, considering i am just now learning the basic tools, exotic tools are a little above my head. I read the article and I still am scratching my head.
