[arg_discuss] EU funded ARG for language learning motivation

[Kindersite Joel]

I am a partner in a European Union funded education project called ARGuing 
http://arg.paisley.ac.uk/index.php being coordinated by Prof. Thomas 
Connolly (Chair European Association for Games in Education) of University
of West of Scotland.

The project is using an ARG to motivate European students to engage with 
language learning.

One of the steps we need to take within the project is to examine and 
include 'Case Studies' of the use of other ARGs or similar games in 
education. I would be very grateful if members of the list could help me by 
sending me any literature you produced on any games (case studies, research 
etc.)  that you used in education, including initialization, development, 
implementation and results. We would be particularly interested in problems 
and benefits that you noted.

I would also be very grateful for the names and contact details or web 
addresses were I could find more examples.

I hope my request is not to much of a burden, any help would be greatly 
appreciated. I am not involving Prof. Connolly directly in this research as 
I am leading this Workpackage.

Many thanks

Joel
