This paper reports on a mixed-methods study carried out across 20 public gameplay sites, including large- and small-scale local area network (LAN) parties, fan culture conventions, Internet cafés, and pub-based gaming nights.
The purpose of this fieldwork was to document and compare the games-related and games-based forms of communicative activity, particularly with regards to play in Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs), that different public venues make possible. This work merges qualitative research methods (participant observation and interviews) with quantitative data collection and analysis (via a survey administered to each participant), enabling a mixed-methods, multisite exploration of game-based computer-mediated communication in public settings. The analysis we undertake here pays critical attention to the ways in which both ‘participants’ and ‘research sites’ are defined and delineated in research on networked digital gaming.

The Future Isn't About Mobile; It's About Mobility - David Armano. By David Armano | 8:03 AM July 18, 2012 While the globe grapples with uncertain economic realities, “mobile” appears to be gold.
Facebook is expected to announce their uniquely targeted mobile advertising model before the end of the month. Amazon is talking to Chinese manufacturer Fox Conn with ambitions of building their own mobile device to serve as a complement to Amazon’s considerable digital ecosystem of products and services. China itself has surpassed the US as the world’s dominant smartphone market with over a billion subscribers and roughly 400 million mobile web users.

Last year, the World Bank’s InfoDev programme asked me to write a report on the “development potential of the virtual economy”.
The report, titled Knowledge Map of the Virtual Economy, is published today. It contains a number of new facts and ways of thinking about the virtual economy, and I’m excited to see what the reaction is. In this report, we understand the virtual economy more widely than as mere online game economies, although online game economies are big part of it.
Other sectors of the virtual economy are markets for such things as Facebook likes, Twitter followers, and digital microtasks. All of these are valuable yet scarce digital assets that have emerged as the so-called “digital economy” of online services has grown (see Figure 1). The development potential here refers to the potential to provide income opportunities to poor and undereducated people in developing countries, and to support the development of local ICT infrastructure.

The user accesses a computer-simulated world which presents perceptual stimuli to the user, who in turn can manipulate elements of the modeled world and thus experience a degree of telepresence.[6] Such modeled worlds and their rules may draw from the reality or fantasy worlds. Example rules are gravity, topography, locomotion, real-time actions, and communication. Communication between users can range from text, graphical icons, visual gesture, sound, and rarely, forms using touch, voice command, and balance senses.
Virtual worlds are not limited to games but, depending on the degree of immediacy presented, can encompass computer conferencing and text based chatrooms. Sometimes, emoticons or 'smilies' are available to show feeling or facial expression. Virtual learning environment.
A virtual learning environment (VLE), or learning platform, is an e-learning education system based on the web that models conventional in-person education by providing equivalent virtual access to classes, class content, tests, homework, grades, assessments, and other external resources such as academic or museum website links. It is also a social space where students and teacher can interact through threaded discussions or chat. It typically uses Web 2.0 tools for 2-way interaction, and includes a content management system. Virtual learning environments are the basic components of contemporary distance learning, but can also be integrated with a physical learning environment[1] which may be referred to as blended learning.
