David Neville has recently posted a prototype and development information for an SIE (synthetic immersive environment) he is creating for German. It is available at: http://digibahn.blogspot.com/2011/04/download-game-prototype.html for those who are interested in checking it out or contributing to the project. We haven’t spent much time with it, but thought some of you interested in game-mediated L2 education more broadly would be interested.
Thanks for sharing David!

Thanks for posting this, Julie! And a great blog resource for L2 gaming.
what’s SIE anyway?
SIE stands for ‘Synthetic Immersive Environment.’ Basically, it is a computer generated landscape for teachers/learners to engage with. That is why we promote games for classroom purposes, since they offer such an immersive platform to work with!
