Abstract

ARIES (Acquiring Research Investigative and Evaluative Skills) is a computerized educational game in which players attempt to stop extraterrestrials from implicitly stunting scientific progress on Earth by publishing bad research in a variety of fields. Players progress through three modules: 1) read and be tested on an on-line science text, 2) evaluate potentially flawed research articles, and 3) learn question-asking skills. ARIES incorporates multiple learning principles, such as testing effects, generation effects, and formative feedback.
