For those of you watching this site: the survey related to this study is being beta-tested
and I hope to get it "live" shortly. I will post a link here when it is ready to go.

Why
Games?
A look into games, gaming culture, libraries, and learning
What brings people to games and gaming as a hobby
What keeps them coming back for more
What do they take out of games back to real life
This is emphatically a work in progress, pursuant to an independent research study by Liz Danforth
under guidance from Dr. Chris Johnson (University of Arizona).
Comments, suggestions, and ideas are welcomed. That's why it's a public wiki. You can't edit, but I'm willing to hear from you. I don't promise these pages will make a lot of sense to anyone else while I'm "in progress."
(and yes, bias noted. The Second Life screenshot exemplifies one of the main differences I experience between the active, heroic WoW toon, and the passive stand-around SL av even if she does wear funky makeup ...Solar Hero and all that, vs everyday simulation of RL.) And yes, the gender distinction here is also a conscious choice. I have multiple toons, of every race, gender, and class available to me in WoW. Since I've been asked, I've recently added a shot of one of my other WoW characters, a troll shaman.)
