Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    Using the digital game The Sims 2 (TS2) as a example, this study is designed to advance understanding of how digital game play provides an interactive narrative interface, in which players may play, explore, and express themselves in the form of storytelling. Ultimately, the goal of the study will be to ascertain whether the experience of narrative creation in game play that encourage reflective learning and the construction of social-cultural identities.
