Prior to coming to MIT to study with the Comparative Media Studies program and to be a research assistant with the Education Arcade, I worked with the Games, Learning, and Society program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research was driven by my interest in how the athletes at the University of Wisconsin were using commercial games to enhance their training. I wanted to point out some reasons why sport video games have many qualities that make them ideally suited for learners.
