One of the professors at my University, York University, is creating a course which engages them in a "WoW like" environment"

Her credentials are:
Diane Zorn, PhD
Course Director, Modes of Reasoning, Department of Humanities
Course Coordinator, BBA Business Ethics, Schulich School of Business


In an effort to engage students and get them to come to class, Diane Zorn, a professor at York University, has been developing a philosophy course that would roll out as a game based on role playing games like World of Warcraft.

Professor Dian Zorn's Rate my professor page.

So this is very interesting. A segment of her course makes students engage in a WoW like atmosphere, where they must teach the ethics of war and various other real life issues.

Gimmicky, intuitive, indifferent?

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Definitely interesting.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

A fun experiment.
