Anglia Ruskin University in SL

In a refreshing twist to the standard practice of journalists to demand the RL name of any resident they interview, this article instead reverses the practice. The piece discusses Anglia Ruskin University's new offering of a degree in Computer Games and Animation Technology. One aspect of the course is learning about SL.

The article goes on to mention the standard information about SL for those unfamiliar with it, and then does a mini-profile on Gareth Lancaster, who makes skates for sale in SL. It seems fairly obvious who this is in SL, so I'll not rehash it here, but it was interesting to see the usual mode of coverage modified slightly by not listing Mr. Lancaster's SL name.
