Well, the year
has ended now and it is time to get on the Hogwarts Express and head home...
This Pottermore
study has some interesting prospects of further study. Research can still be
done into how identity is created in the online space as well as how students
utilize that space. The project has potential because of its unique aspects to
offer further exploration into how new and pro game players interact and how
online environments influence that interaction. Similar studies to the
Pottermore project have been done and I think further connection between those
studies would be beneficial to understanding the growing presence of the online
world.
This study could
also have potential in the classroom as well. How can games be used in online
classroom environments? How does online communication affect how we interpret
the world and our offline interactions? The possibilities are endless.
I hope you all
have enjoyed seeing this Pottermore project unfold just as much as I have.
Until next time...
