COMM 3344-1 :: Games for the web

Below, you will find term papers written by undergraduate students in the class “Games for the Web: Ethnography of Massively Multiplayer On-line Games.”

These students used a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods to explore sociological issues associated with massively multiplayer virtual worlds. Each student in the class pursued a different research question. Their term papers (and web logs) are linked below.

For now they’re exploring the social dynamics in the game but someday they may use the interaction in the game to explore RL (real life) society.
