Help us with our study on Civilization!

[gusandrews]

Hello players! Could you help us out with game research?

We are three graduate students at Teachers College who have a grant to study the possibility that commercial games prepare people to do better in school. By taking our online survey, you'll be helping us figure out just how these games might be useful for learning. (Bonus: you'll also get a chance to enter a raffle for an Amazon gift certificate!)

We admit the survey is long. You will be reading two PDF texts and answering about ninety questions, which will be about games, urban planning, and history. However, if you work on your personal computer (not a public one), you can save and quit the survey in order to come back to it later. You can finish it at your own speed!

NOTE: There are a lot of questions in this survey about Sim City and Civilization. If you have NOT played Civilization or Sim City before, please FEEL FREE TO SKIP THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE GAMES. We want you to take the survey even if you have not played these games!

If you're willing to help us out, please take our survey here:

Thanks for your time!
