Personally, I'd prefer it if you wrote what was in those links rather than just posting them, just as a matter of style. I don't know if there's an LQ rule about that, particularly not in General, but it'd make it easier for anyone searching for something to know whether this would be worth pursuing in the future.

Hundreds of ready-made lessons

To get started, find a lesson. Browse our library of ready-made lessons, which have been set up to help you teach in Yenka's virtual world.

Create your own lessons

Yenka is based around a powerful, but easy-to-use, modelling engine.

Unlike most educational software, this means you can modify our lessons as you wish. And you can even create your own lessons or activities from scratch, with just a few clicks.
It's not a rule to describe links, rather than ask us to blindly click them, but it is good netiquette.

Regardless, this has been moved to Linux-News

Old people.. Don't you know youtube is the new product description?
(Seriously though, I was excited when I found it.. Wasn't thinking clearly, but I can say for sure that A.) it's fully featured, and B.) it works.)

Apparently you get a home license that lasts for a year, and from what I've seen of the program so far it looks stable and as cool as the youtube video made it out to be.
