			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Second Life and similar multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) are not something we mention in ACL much.  Maybe that&#8217;s because they can be resource and bandwidth intensive and the chance of local authorities opening their networks to them is unlikely.</p>
<p>However, MUVEs offer a great deal to ACL.  They are great as inclusive technology, as people can be anything they want.  There&#8217;s a great video about it <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=3547970n">here</a>.</p>
<p>Role play or similar is sometimes used extensively in community based courses &#8211; and MUVEs provide a great potential for that.  Apart from all that, MUVEs are fun &#8211; they are a great way to engage people and give them a new platform to show off their skills.</p>
<p>If you want to find out more about MUVEs and their use in education, why not take a look at the <a href="http://www.rsc-yh.ac.uk/events">RSC YH&#8217;s Excellence in E-Learning Event</a>.  It would be great to see some ACL there.</p>
