And so it begins

This week we begin our culminating project. We create a video introducing a keynote speaker at a technology conference. The idea is that the video provides an overview of the topic, priming the audience for the presentation. This week I will be analyzing Chidress's (2006) "Using Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games for Online Learning".

  3. Durff,

    My understanding of the project is that there need not be specifics, such as the keynote speaker. I'm not 100% sure of what level I will focus on, though most likely I will focus on the university level, as there is so little research available regarding online, K-12 education. I would love to focus on primary and secondary education, though.

    Thanks for the great resources!
