The "Edutainment" Future Is Now

With the help of several friends, I've written a wiki page on OpenACS.org that explains the "what" and the "why" surrounding the recent announcement that OpenACS/.LRN is the first to support the IMS LD specification for designing open-ended, collaborative learning experiences online.  It may seem arcane, and the examples may not be much to look at today, but this is a very big deal if you think that online games, communities, and learning have any synergistic future at all.

Yet another reminder (among others) about why I continue to believe in this project and the community that contributes to it.
