Second Life and World of Warcraft are not really "worlds", whatever their proponents might claim.
They are sophisticated 3-D environments that allow for a much greater degree of engagement than other tools, and they offer tools for interaction and creative expression that browsers, chatrooms and e-mail do not. However, the grandiose terminology makes it too easy to dismiss their importance.
The organisers of ReLIVE08 seem to realise this. In her paper, Ms Robbins-Bell talked about virtual worlds, but the conference as a whole was concerned with "Researching Learning in Virtual Environments", a broader and far less confrontational term.
