- Also, NSF funds game-based learning @ UW Madison: http://www.news.wisc.edu/17149 WoW: Constance Steinkweller found that dialogues that support/explain/justify actions in quest demonstrate a level of scientific literacy. others are interested in WoW for teambuilding, commun. skills.

- The epistemic games group publishes research in academic journals, technical reports, books, and online. How can we make sure that our kids are learning to be creative thinkers in a world of global competition? Chronicling more than a decade of research in technology, game science, and education, the work of the Epistemic Games Group speaks to the ongoing debate about the pros and cons of digital learning. research on games--such as Urban Science, developed @ UW MAdison--teaches kids to think like urban planners grant-funded - McCarthur, NSF. Some games developed by MIT/Harvard
- MIT educ. arcade - resesarch group of comparative media studies program; with NSF, developing “curated” game around climate change. Mass Extinction - Over eight weeks in the spring of 2011, Mass Extinction players will explore a series of web pages, simulations, and live events at the Smithsonian and affiliate museums around the country. Together, players will solve puzzles, collect data, do web searches, and engage in on-line debate, all in the process of unraveling a mystery that blends a science-fiction scenario with the all-too-real issue of climate change.
- game that demonstrates “social responsiveness” (re: Dede @ Harvard)
- "build up our global capacity to change the world in as short a time as possible, for as many people as possible" 3 missions/week - to imagine how they would solve real-world problems
- dept-based, grass-roots effort Uses branching node structure to create dialogue in game, to create dialogue about place Highlights learner engagement, rooted in design-based research (DBR) model Players encouraged to work together
