In the online world as in the real world, issues of personal identity affect how we relate to others. Culture in online environments is created by these understandings and misunderstandings. As the net grows not only in size but in diversity, we must take these issues into account as designers and citizens of this new medium. Is it possible to create a genderless classroom? A raceless courtroom? A rich environment where a user can be not just a pseudonym, but a person with a full history of culturally-bound experiences? For community designers, these are crucial questions. The Turing Game is a participatory collaborative learning experience to help us understand these phenomena.</font></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="black"> <div align="center"> <img src="/becker/lib/exe/fetch.php?w=&h=&cache=cache&media=resources:proprietary:t-typingofthedead_boxshot.jpg" alt="" width="75" border="0"></div> </td> <td bgcolor="white"><font size="-1" face="Verdana"><b><i>Typing of the Dead</i></b></font><br> <font size="-1" face="Verdana"> - Dreamcast - a 'mod' of a stereotypical zombie-shooter </font><font size="-1" color="black" face="Verdana"><a href="http://dreamcast.ign.com/articles/165/165674p1.html?fromint=1">http://dreamcast.ign.com/articles/165/165674p1.html?fromint=1</a></font><font size="-1" face="Verdana"><br> </font></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="white"> <div align="center"> <font size="+1" color="#0000cc" face="Verdana"><b>Virtual Leader</b></font></div> </td> <td bgcolor="white"> <p><font size="-1"><font face="Verdana"><b>Virtual Leader</b> </font></font><br> <font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">- Leadership sim [<a href="http://www.simulearn.net">http://www.simulearn.net/</a>]<br> <br> </font></font></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#f0e68c"> <div align="center"> <a href="http://virtual-u.org/"><img src="/becker/lib/exe/fetch.php?w=&h=&cache=cache&media=resources:proprietary:vulogo.jpg" alt="" width="150" border="0"></a></div> </td> <td bgcolor="white"> <p><font size="-1" face="Verdana"><b>Virtual U</b></font><br> <font size="-1" face="Verdana"> is designed to foster better understanding of management practices in American colleges and universities.
