[arg_discuss] Re: Educational ARGs (Christy Dena)

[Richard Sebastian]

Good information. Thanks, Christy.  I look forward to reading the ARG
whitepaper, and would appreciate any information anyone may have on
projects (esp. in the US) where ARGs are being used to teach, either
informally or formally. I am interested in studying the implementation
of an educational ARG.
