> Hello, Cloudmakers:
>
> I am a doctoral student in Instructional Technology at the University
> of Virginia. I am conducting a pilot research study on the Cloudmakers
> group that formed around the online interactive game The Beast. The
> purpose of the study is to understand the appeal of interactive,
> web-based games like The Beast and the social, problem-solving
> networks that develop during game-play. I especially want to explore
> how these kinds of games can be adapted for education.
>
> The pilot study consists of completing a short, open-ended web-based
> survey. A handful of participants who complete this initial survey
> will be selected for a follow-up interview. That interview will be
> conducted individually during an online chat.
>
> The study is limited to participants who are 18 years or older and are
> current members of the Cloudmaker group that were involved in playing
> The Beast during its initial release in April of 2001.
