Abstract: The NASA-sponsored Classroom of the Future (COTF) will conduct numerous studies on identifying and assessing learning and tacking flow in video games. Though the methodology in each study may differ somewhat, the purpose of each collection is similar. Without basic research into assessment of learning in games, NASA Education will have no measurement of how much learning occurs in the games they develop. NASA will use the research to inform it stakeholders in developing educational video games.
