QuoteFor educators in the 21st century, online communities like those that have grown up around StarCraft offer exciting models of peer-based learning environments. Players can move at their own pace, take advantage of a diverse set of resources created by other players, and contribute their own knowledge and expertise back to the group.

"It is all about asking, 'What works here?' How cool is that?"
The embedded video is also very interesting - really, the meat of the article - because it provides a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how Blizzard works on their games.

Interesting article but like Bison, my reflexes just aren't up to snuf.
