Masters Project Mind Map

I haven't settled on a master's project idea. It behooves me to do something related to Shaba or Second Life since I've invested the most time here. Right now I'm most excited by the interfaces and the learning design in video games questions. I think it would be interesting to explore how learning design techniques like scaffolding, coaching and linking get represented in games. I could study how you learn to use Shrek's supermove or how people learn to cooperate in games. On the other hand, interfaces are so important. I could take a game like pacman and change the interface so people get slightly different information and see how that changes the experience. Or I could explore massively multiplayer virtual worlds and study how to build immersive learning environments in Second Life. There's a lot here and I'm still looking for subjects. Here is a picture of my mind map close up. This was created using Kid Inspiration Software.
