Real-Time Research: Improvisational Game Scholarship

by Seann Dikkers (Contributor), Kurt Squire, Eric Zimmerman (Contributor)

Real-Time Research is all about reconnecting with the thrill of discovery that initially led us into the age of science - ask an intriguing question, refine it with a diverse group of exciting minds, then go look for an answer. This zooms in on what is fun about science and excites the desire to quickly test more and more ideas, questions, and projects. This book not only equips you to coordinate RTR experiences, but provides a delightful collection of RTR group findings from the last two years in the fields of education, gaming, and media studies for you to enjoy and use. Each provides a glimpse into the playful minds of today's leading scholars.

It drives me crazy when DESIGNERS -- in a visual discipline, no less -- write a text and reference documents needed for the research but, oh, yes, that's right, don't SHOW them. Instead, they write, "We'll talk about this in 20 chapters." By that point, I have zero handle on what you're trying to SHOW me. Ugh.

Reading this on Kindle PC also reinforces the hatred I feel for the way the Kindle removes any sense of book design. Everything runs together and looks like a tacky Word document.
