Subject: [cloudmakers] Cloudmaker Research Survey


Thanks to all the Cloudmakers out there who took the time to complete
my research survey. Your input has been quite valuable. The survey
will be accessible for one more week. If you are an original
Cloudmaker and haven't taken the time to fill it out, now is your
chance. The URL is:

If you have any questions about this study, or want more details, I
have included my original post below.

Thanks,
Richard Sebastian


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.

Your participation is completely voluntary. If you are interested in
participating, please follow this URL
(http://www.people.virginia.edu/~ras5p/) to read and complete the
consent agreement. Once you complete the consent agreement, you will
be taken to the online survey.

If you have any questions about this study, feel free to contact me at

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your
time!
