Interaction with a virtual stakeholder in the cyberlearning game, "Citizen Science."
In the game "Citizen Science," created by University of Wisconsin-Madison's Kurt Squire and his team, players help restore Lake Mendota, a real lake in Wisconsin that, in the year 2020, has become polluted. As players explore the landscape, they take water samples, interact with a virtual, simulated watershed and talk with stakeholders (as seen above).
