Sean C. Duncan

Sean C. Duncan  is an Assistant Professor, Learning Sciences Program in the Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology at Indiana University. His research focuses on collaboration and play in informal learning environments, with a primary emphasis on gaming, game design, and gaming culture. Intersecting with digital media and learning research, he investigates informal learning in interest-driven learning communities, looking at the forms of collaborative learning, design thinking, and complex reasoning that he sees as being part and parcel of engagement with media. His work crosses the learning sciences and literacy studies, incorporating perspectives that value the out-of-school forms of learning that are embedded in digital media use. He has   recently conducted studies of design thinking in online gaming communities, and is currently conducting studies of childhood digital gaming practices, collaboration and computational thinking in board game contexts, and is developing new studies of social expertise in online communities. He have presented work recently at the American Educational Research Association, the International Conference of the Learning Sciences, Games+Learning+Society, Digital Media & Learning, and Internet Research. He is the co-editor (with Elisabeth Hayes) of the recent book Learning in Video Game Affinity Spaces, published by Peter Lang.
