Abstract:

"Educational computer games--they're not just for five-year-olds anymore," jokes School of Journalism and Mass Communication (SJMC) professor Kathleen Hansen as she navigates around the fantasy world of a computer game called "Neverwinter Nights" in her Murphy Hall office. Hansen, who has taught the Jour 3004 (Information for Mass Communication) course in the school for 25 years, has taken the course in a new direction this semester with the help of "Neverwinter Nights" and a research partnership with Nora Paul, the director of SJMC's Institute for New Media Studies.
