We've all been talking/blogging/posting/Skyping about second life and virtual worlds and their role/value/function in distance education. And I have shared (with a few people I think), how I have been thinking about this sort of format for continung medical education (my day job). I thought I was ahead of the curve on this one, but.....apparently not! :)
Today when I got into the office I had an email from a colleague at the medical education office of a pharma company that provides grants to my organization. The goal was to introduce me to a person and a company that---yes, you guessed it--does virtual world training! It was as if this person had my office bugged (or was recording my keystrokes) because I had not shared these thoughts with anyone except you, my classmates, and my staff.
The company is Tandem Learning. Here's a link to their site:

Now I just learned about them today, so I cannot say anything about what they do. But I can tell you that I am working to schedule a meeting with their CEO so she can present to my organization and we can figure out if we can work together.
It's so great when the streams of this course and my work life meld together! :)
