Their web address is http://www.learningplace.com.au/deliver/content.asp?pid=7669

Within this site is a fantastic resource called the "Games In Learning Project" being run by Mark Piper which includes a well run and very proactive email and discussion list. (The archive can be found at- http://education.qld.gov.au/archives/gamesinlearning.html

Whilst the discussions are primarily aimed at the school education (primary and secondary) sector, there are is no reason that many of the discussions could not be refocussed or used in the adult learning environment.
