Description:

Your participation in our study will involve visiting a destination in Kenya within Second Life. You will receive instructions to participate in a treasure hunt activity and explore the site during your visit. This activity will take you about 30-45 minutes to complete. After the completion of activity, you will take part in two Web surveys as part of the in-world activity to evaluate your experience while visiting this site. Participants will be asked to provide their Avatar’s name at the end of web survey, which will enter them into a random drawing. Multiple entries from the same person will not be accepted.

If you have any questions, please contact Yu-Chih Huang at yhuang@clemson.edu.
