'Children in Virtual Worlds' is the website of a joint conference held by the BBC, the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC), and the University of Westminster. The one-day conference was held in May 2008, in a climate of increasing moral panic on the topic by media commentators and pressure groups. The conference proceedings are being placed online, and at mid July 2008 the following academic papers are available: 'New research on Virtual Worlds for children'; 'Children in Virtual Worlds: legal issues'; 'Researching Virtual Worlds: let's talk about ethics'; 'Learning from online Worlds: teaching in Second Life'; 'Immersion and play in Virtual and actual places'; and a report on the BBC's 'Adventure Rock' online world (formerly CBBC World). Most of these papers are in PDF form, but there is also some video from the conference. The website also contains full details of the conference programme. The papers this website contains will be useful for those researching new forms of interactive media, the changing media consumption of young childhood in the UK, and also the knowledges and attitudes about Virtual Worlds that young people may bring with them in the near-future when they enter higher education. ...

Filed under: Night Elves , Fan stuff , Virtual selves , Humor This is one of the sillier articles that PC Gamer UK has probably ever written about massively multiplayer online games, but still, I enjoyed it. One of their writers went (only half seriously) looking for love in a few popular Virtual Worlds, and he found it, surprisingly enough, in Azeroth. Neither EvE Online or City of Heroes were very helpful in the love-finding department -- despite finding a fetching young lady superheroine in CoH , the writer was a little disappointed to find out she was a he behind the keyboard . But WoW , as usual, provides the best of MMO experiences -- the writer finds some cute love in the Night Elf starting area . Sure, it's silly (and probably not true -- just because someone says they're a Finnish college student means nothing at all online). But I found it strangely touching, the thought that a real human connection could be made in an online game. And isn't that why we play these in the first place?
