Planning has started on work to be completed this semester. I will be working on creating "Bunny Generals: Divide and Conquer" with Antoine. Over the next week, we and I will finalize the design and begin prototyping/development. The game will be completed and study-ready by the end of the semester. While it is unlikely we will actually get to complete a study this semester, it will be fully planned and ready to go for the summer or Fall 2009.
Also ongoing is the EleMental study which will be running from February 2nd - 27th. Amanda and I have set up our availability in Genbook, we can add in Antoine's schedule as well as that of any G2L students available to help. Now that schedules are set, we are announcing the study to students and teachers. Our goal is to run 30 students through the study, using the adjusted pre- and post-tests. This will allow for accurate, statistically significant results which can be used to write papers!
Finally, I will likely be working with Mike on the improvement/standardization of game evaulation with an emphasis on our own games. I'd like to work on fine-tuning the loggin processes so we are gathering as much information as possible. In this way we can hope to draw more insight from the games we create in order to see how an individual game benefits students and how the G2L project as a whole has progressed.
For the upcoming week: Set the availability schedules for all people helping run the EleMental Study, finish the design document for Bunny Generals, set B.G. milestones for the semester, and begin researching standards of evaluation within the game industry.

I am aware of the progress report format, but I didn't have set goals for the week except to get my life organized, so this report wouldn't really fit. I'll be sure to use that format for all future reports!
