"In August 2005, a two-part discussion among scholars, education researchers, graduate students, museum
professionals, evaluation experts, and educators took place at the Center for Informal Learning and Schools
(CILS) annual meeting, the Bay Area Institute. This roundtable's goal was to advance conversation among
researchers and practitioners interested in examining informal learning and play in settings that are
mediated by digital-based technologies (e.g., personal digital assistants, mobile phones, laptops, videogame
systems). The discussion was intended to generate synergies and collaborations for concurrent investigation
of ethnographic and design-based studies to better understand learning, motivation, and play in digital
environments among youth and young adults. The following is a synthesis, elaboration, and summary of the
discussions that took place over the two days."
