Seagrass Explorer

Welcome to Seagrass Explorer!

Thanks for your interest in digital game-based learning and our virtual aquarium.
Follow Steps One through Four below to complete the activity...

Step One

To get started, please watch this video 👇 featuring Gwendolyn McManus, the game's designer!

The video explains how we came up with this idea, describes the game's development and creation, and highlights of the game itself. (~10 minutes)

Step Two

Before playing Seagrass Explorer, please complete the pre-game survey (click the button below!)

This is optional, but your feedback and responses to pre- and post-game surveys will really help us continue to refine the game. (~5 minutes)

Step Three

Click the button below to download and install the game on your computer.

Once you've downloaded the game, start playing!

There are three main exhibits - explore at your own pace and take time to interact with signs and components of the displays. (~20-30 minutes)

Step Four

After playing Seagrass Explorer, please complete the post-game survey (there is a link to the post-game survey at the end of the game OR you can click the button below – please only complete the survey once!).

This is optional, and not a test! By comparing the pre- and post-game surveys, we can learn what aspects of the game were most interesting and effective and what we can modify for future players. (~5 minutes)
