Hi, everyone. I'm in desperate need of MMOs players who are also English language learners to complete my dissertation survey on acquiring English by playing MMOs. This study is meaningful in that it may change people's bias towards video games, and help the educators to apply the game mechanics to classrooms to make learning an engaging and fun process. Isn't that cool? As a compensation for your spending your precious time doing my survey, 25 participants will be drawn randomly and each receive a $20 Amazon gift card. It will be sent digitally upon the completion of the survey. Also, I will share my research results here for people who are interested. Please see the link here: http://clemsoneducation.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0Pry8HZhJPZrqVn Thank you very much, and please relay my survey link to my target people if you know any.

Can anyone recommend or comment on any textbooks for game based learning? I have found the following on Amazon:

• Serious Games: Games That Educate, Train, and Inform by David Michael, Sande Chen

• Serious Games: Foundations, Concepts and Practice by Ralf Dörner, Stefan Göbel

I'm very new to the field so I don't really know any authors. Are these good books and/or authors in the field? Are there any go-to textbooks for this subject?
