I someone at SIGGRAPH from Carnegie Melon who told me that 8 of their grads in the HCI dept went on to an internship for Linden Labs and were working on just such a thing (Mitch Kapor mentioned it at SLB5). But I’m not sure that this is the same team.
Likewise, this team is using a regular webcam… Mitch and his team are using the Zcam, which runs roughly about $250-300 (what I was told at SIGGRAPH). See the demo for that below

Web 2.Perfection
Web 2.0 Backpack: Web Apps for Students
This recent article is a really great resource for getting folks into those 2.0 apps.
You can also check out the wiki textbook my 2D Foundations summer students made (link below) as another example of using Web 2.0 in the classroom.
I apologize if the blog runs a little slim this summer. I’m having my second child and taking a needed break
