A look into games, gaming culture, libraries, and learning

What keeps them coming back for more

What do they take out of games back to real life

Read the Initial Report

 

 

 

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 and http://www.21stcenturylearning.com). My Master's degree has been completed, but the research continues.

 

 

 

Comments, suggestions, and ideas are welcomed. That's why it's a public wiki. The work here is "in progress" and in many ways is simply the virtual equivalent of a shoebox full of notecards. I have chosen to spend the time collecting information and not in making it pretty: substance trumps style, I believe. Pretty comes later.

 

 

(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.)
