29. “Activity in Quest Atlantis is designed to sit at the
intersection of education, social commitment and
entertainment. Students are involved in activities,
communication and collaboration based around
quests (like those in web quests). These quests draw
students into research and the 'development of,
wisdom' to be shared with the mythical people of
Atlantis. Unlike many other online "games" students
do not gain stature of points from killing things, quite
the opposite. Points are gained from completing and
collaborating on quests.”
