About the Book

Where do you go when you want to be someone else? In today's world your destination of choice may well be an on-line gaming site. Gaming as Imagination Technology is a collection of articles that prompts reflection and provokes debate on the role of gaming in the higher education curriculum. This reader is intended for courses in communication, anthropology, and sociology, but is appropriate for any course that might/would discuss gaming as a significant shift in how people organize themselves and learn.

Some of the topics and readings in Gaming as Imagination include:

  • Real Behavior in Virtual Environments
  • The Effects of Prosocial Video Games on Prosocial Behavior
  • Strangers and Friends: Collaborative Play in World of Warcraft
  • Labor of Fun: How Video Games Blur the Boundaries of Work and Play
  • Women, Video Gaming and Learning

Gaming as Imagination is both topical and timely. It provides a thought-provoking look at the impact on learning and behavior of this imaginative, increasingly popular, seductive social phenomenon, a phenomenon that many take lightly, but none should ignore.
