Educational Action Research
This time we will be going through the primary quests/mission for the FACTIONS campaign. You will need to have a copy of it in order to participate. It is also necessary for you to have a headset with a microphone in order to communicate with the other members in our Ventrilo (free download) server. This cycle is slated to begin on Monday, March 4th and will last for approximately 6 weeks. We meet daily (M-F) for about an hour, maybe 1 1/2 hours, starting at 6:30pm PST (8:30CST or 9:30EST).
This project will require you to begin a new
character in Factions so that everyone starts
out in the same place. Apart from just
completing the primary quests/missions in
Factions, you will also be required to assume a
leadership role during some point of the
project, make daily posts in the forums, answers
polls/surveys when needed, and communicate via
voice in Ventrilo and text chat in game and/or
forums. You are not required to be a part of
our guild "VirtuGuild", but are more than
welcome to join if you are looking for a guild.
If you are still interested and willing to
participate in this project, then I will need
you to reply to this email and then go sign up
in the forums (discussion boards) for an account

Thank you for your time and consideration in
helping me show how Guild Wars can effectively
be used to teach the social skills (teamwork,
collaboration, and leadership) needed in the
21st century workforce.
There will be several VirtuGuild members online this weekend catching up on any missed quests/missions as well as completing side quests. Just hit "G" while in game to see who is on and send them a message to join their party. Have fun!!
