Study update: We are currently conducting an SSHRC-funded study with first-year biology students of the learning impacts of this game. After a successful pilot study, we are further exploring how students learn with our game with the help of Unity Analytics. Participants in the study are currently limited to students of MacEwan University, but if you wish to contribute, please contact the development team’s Project Leaders. [reference game credits]
