Imagine yourself as a resident of the communist state of Arstotzka. The war with a neighbouring country has ended and now half of a town, Grestin, has been reclaimed on the border. You are an immigration inspector, tasked with controlling the flow of people into Arstotzka. You decide the fate of every person who comes by your booth; will they pass through, sent away, or arrested? Will you be cold and efficient or will you let some slip through the cracks at the cost of your own living.

For a recap on this year in open education, it's impossible to ignore the role of gaming, including massively multiplayer open online role-playing games (MMORGs or MMOs). MMOs have created quite a stir in education and are being recognized for their potential for better learning. MMOs differ from single-user games and are a far cry from much earlier video games. First, they are played via the Internet. Second, they enable very large numbers of players to interact with one another in a virtual world. And third, the games continue regardless of whether someone is playing or not.
