The paper, "Enhancing Science Education Through Instructional Games That Prepare Students for Knowledge Acquisition," was coauthored by Laura Wilbanks, a teacher whose students have taken part in the
Selene game, and Dr. Debbie Denise Reese, senior educational researcher at the Center for Educational Technologies and principal investigator on the CyGaMEs project funded by the National Science Foundation to carry out research into videogame learning, design, and assessment that first began with the NASA-funded
Selene project.
