Our research questions focus on what students do and do not learn while playing the game plus the quality of their learning. This will allow us to inform the kinds of learning that are possible in an MMO as well as focus on how the game can be improved or changed. We will also be exploring student engagement and persistence in game play and the feasibility of implementing such a game in a classroom setting. This is an ongoing list of what we've published on our research.
