The teachers met monthly with Administrators from UTS as well as academics from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education to develop, shape and implement their studies. ChangeGamer Director and middle/high school Geography teacher Mike Farley decided to focus on game-based learning. His final research report focused on the docu-game Fort McMoney (see pages 43-58).
