Re: [xmca] Playworld Camps!! ? oh my goodness!

[Richard Beach <rbeach@umn.edu>]

Here's a discussion of the use of online role-play on a Ning (can also be
done on blogs) to foster argumentative writing about issues leading to
changes in status quo practices:
Beach, R., & Doerr-Stevens, C.  (2009).  Learning Argument Practices Through
Online Role-Play: Toward a Rhetoric of Significance and Transformation.
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 52(6)

Central to fostering change is surfacing tensions and contradictions through
the role-play that lead students to be motivated to want to push for making
changes.
