Since technically I am just the facilitator rather than a "contributor" I shall add a comment. I came across this blog page - http://mocozone.blogspot.com/2008/01/institutional-checklist-for-sl-course.html - which provides a useful an "An institutional Checklist" for teaching in Second Life. It might provide a useful way to organise a literature review.
Cheers, Iain

Hi Iain, Ashwini, How're things? (I've just discovered the 'comment' feature)
The 'Khan' framework seems like a reasonable starting place for organising literature/ideas/etc.
Ashwini, through your own exploration of the literature and issues, you might adapt it over time.
Regards, Stuart.
