How instructors' roles are changing in virtual worlds.

Now seems like the time to pause and reflect on the place of science in our community and our schools.

(Barr et al, 2008). Such lofty assertions of the importance of education as a right and national value should be sufficient to ensure that all Australians have access to an education of the highest standard with equitable outcomes for all, the reality is that this is not the case.

Or, is something else at play here?
