This semester I think we will focus on 2 main questions
- how do you define basic terms - game, fun, learning
- how do you learn to play something like secondlife 

i like the ideas of constructivist learning - have to create the shared reality, reflective writing - with a world like secondlife who do you share your reality with? how do you knwo if your understanding is the same as someone elses?

SO i need some measures for before, during and after the semester. 
-I'm thinking that weekly or more frequent blog posts for their descriptions of what they did and what it taught/showed them

-a survey with a list of the activities we did during the semester and their assessment of how much and what they learned from each (to get them to sort of rate the assignments rather than evaluate them one at a time - that will be in the blog)

- i need a pretest - what do you know about secondlife now, have you ever hung out in a mmorpg - can't be anonymous so can't ask too much - need to be able to combine it with their blog posts and endof hte semester essay

- end of the semester essay - what do they think they learned about learning, about how they learn best
