The Story
My story for joining GRL is quite simple:
This is the party place for all the cool people I could imagine, including game designers, developers, researchers, educators and teachers, learning specialists and instructional designers, gamers, and more! This is an inclusive workplace for the community to share creative ideas, do research, and of course, build, learn, and teach games.
I joined the GRL soon as I join my M.A. program. GRL is directed by my advisor and program coordinator, dr. Joey Lee.
