Some relevant links about Flash in teaching & learning at http://www.shambles.net/pages/school/flash/

discussion about whether FLASH would be used in future:

Question .... Would you use Flash again ... two reasons I ask is that Flash does not play on all mobile devices ... and there are also now lots of simplier authoring tools ... especially for creating Apps/Games with lower learning curves http://www.shambles.net/pages/learning/ict/createapps/

Weaknesses: Under-ambitious or Over-ambitious... and frustration to debugging issues

Another participant commented:

If you have done any building in virtual worlds like secondlife ... then you can build games simulations role play in there ... but remember that SecLife is not a game itself ... a platform
