Schome is not school and not home

Peter Twining of the Open University sent this link appended to an email. Schome is not school, not home. The grand concept is to provide means for education in the information age - grandly put on the home page thus:

Schome is going to be a new form of educational system designed to overcome the problems within current education systems in order to meet the needs of society and individuals in the 21st century.

They have an island in Second Life, a wiki and a forum already set up. The wiki looks like it already has a lot of information there on a wide range of different educational systems and approaches. Some of the wiki entries are clearly placeholders, but there is a LOT of information and there are many citations for further reading. Worth a look if you have a few hours to spare!
