I have been involved in CSCL in the past, and now my main focus is interactive narrative design. I am especially interested in it as a tool to help cognitively reduce complex subjects, be it through gamified simulations or online documentary and journalism. I'm here to reconnect with my learning sciences past, and to see whether the theoretical understanding of narrative scripts that is being developed in my current field and in post-classical (cognitive) narratology can enter into a productive, collaborative dialogue with the learning sciences, with its own notions of scripting. Hopefully, these theoretical affinities may also extend to scientific collaboration. Also, do talk to me if you know a good place to get Taybeh beer in West Jerusalem.
