I last posted here in September. Thank you for the responses. To summarize:

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 Universityof
West of Scotland.

The project is using an ARG to motivate European students to engage with
language learning, but is also looking at ways that teachers can utilize our
work and experience in building and piloting the ARG, within their own work.
We will post results here later.

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 you could help me by sending me any
literature you produced on your serious games or ARG projects (case studies,
research etc.) that you used in education, including initialization,
development, implementation and results. We would be particularly interested
in any Empirical evidence that you noted.

I hope my request is not to much of a burden, any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Many thanks

Joel
