Another in the series of podcasts that I'm producing for SRI has been posted on the company's website. The topic of this podcast is online gaming and virtual worlds (VW).
In the podcast, recording at 2Bruce Studio in Asheville, NC, John Murry explains how researchers are studying VW environments--not just to help enhance the entertainment value of games, but to increase their effectiveness as tools for teaching and learning, professional training, and collaborative work.
I discussed the global usage of online gaming systems with Dr. Murray in one of the most fascinating podcasts that I've had the pleasure to produce, direct, and voice for Silicon-Valley based SRI, one of the world's leading research and technology development organizations.
