About the Project
The Writing Game is a project supported by GRAND that is developing an online writing environment with gamification features. Users can start projects, challenge themselves to meet deadlines, challenge others to finish writing projects, or use writing tactics to complete projects. The Writing Game is being developed by Matt Bouchard. Geoffrey Rockwell is the project director. University of Alberta GRAND researchers who have contributed include: Michael Burden, Joyce Yu, Sean Gouglas, Betsy Sargent and Shannon Lucky. Special thanks to the University of Alberta GRAND team for their ideas and support.
We are now working on version 2.2 with Jinman Zhang and Grady Zielke
This project is led by Geoffrey Rockwell, Roger Graves, and Heather Graves. Other people who have worked on it include: Ryan Chartier. For more on the team see here.
The development is being done by the Arts Resource Centre of the University of Alberta. It is led by Kamal Ranaweera and Mark McKinnon.
