 Overview
One of the main themes/topics explored in this course is virtual worlds, and creating an identity in this other world. Club Penguin [] is a massive online multiplayer game that has attracted a huge following. Players in the game have avatars that resemble penguins, and you can modify the penguins appearance with clothes. The site was launched in 2005, and now there are more than 12 million registered users. The site is able to be maintained through registered users buying clothes, and furnishings in the game. There is also free membership available. This game is interesting in the sense that it is marketed for children, and thus child safety is crucial. This site uses "ultimate safe chat" which helps filter out swearing, sexual language, and personal identities from being revealed.
