March Chen - author of Leet noobs - will discuss his research online

[Ellen Forsyth]

I organise a series of talks about libraries, games and education in the Saurfang (Oceania) realm of World of Warcraft. I hope you can
participate in the next talk.

 

4 April  9.00am (Australian Eastern Standard Time) Mark Chen, author of  Leet Noobs : the life and death of an expert player group in World of Warcraft (http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/159340569) will be talking about his research.  The talks take place at 3.00pm if you are in the same time zone as California.

 

He describes himself  "I am a Post-doctoral Scholar at the University of Washington in the Advancing Gaming in Innovative Learning Ecologies (AGILE) group with the LIFE Center and Institute for Science and Math Education. I focus on ethnographies of gamers and gaming culture and how this helps us think about games and learning."

 

The talks are held in the Ironforge ( http://www.wowwiki.com/Ironforge) Library, Saurfang realm of World of Warcraft. The talks last for about 40 minutes, with time for questions and discussion at the end.

Please contact me with any questions you have about this.

 

Yours sincerely
