just over a month after i received the terrific news that i'll be able to attend the upcoming conference in Edinburgh to present some preliminary findings from my research, God's grace is evident once again, when a letter arrived in the post saying that my airfare and my conference fees will be fully funded by the NIE :-)
this past week, i finished the last round of post-tests. this also means that, for the time being at least, there will be no more formal opportunities for EcoRangers® to be played. i am truly grateful that, in the end, three schools were able to try the game, and i collected more data than i had originally envisaged. the improvements in version 1.1 have gone a long way towards improving game play.
i also took the opportunity of this year's Strategic Planning Day of the department which i belong to here at the NIE to share with all my colleagues for the first time about EcoRangers®. and to think that i had only learned about Structured Academic Controversies from my colleague A/P Wang Zhenping during last year's Strategic Planning Day. time truly flies when one is having fun :-)
