I’m especially interested in the forms of science, literacy, and sociocultural skills that young adults learn from online play. I am currently a Senior Policy Analyst at the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President where I advise on policy related to games and learning/impact. I am currently on leave from my position as Assistant Professor [vita] at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I teach courses on videogames, research methods, and the “smart” side of pop culture. My research lab named PopCosmo investigates the forms of cognition & culture that arise in online games such as RuneScape, World of Warcraft, and Dragon Age Legends.
Our current team consists of 8 doctoral students and 2 undergrads, each specializing in their own interest area. Learning Games Network. Thoughts About Empowering Students with Technology. Bill MacKenty - Educational Technology. Applied Game Design. Intro to game based learning - Mathias Poulsen - Mathias Poulsen. I’ve been happy participating in the EU-funded “Project GAMEiT” for quite some time, and now we’re in the final phase.
