Many people helped take the multiplayer classroom from the virtual world to the real. First, I’d like to thank those who made the book possible. Jurie Horneman asked the question in the Game Design Workshop that caused me to share my syllabus with, among others, Jesse Schell. Jesse mentioned the XP instead of grades idea in his Dice talk last winter. That, and the resulting publicity, prompted educators from around the world to deluge me with questions about designing coursework as a game. Ted Castronova was an early supporter. Jenna Hoffstein set up the first blog and forums so we could share our experiences. Emi Smith at Cengage Learning allowed me to put aside another book when the Multiplayer Classroom demanded to be written instead. Alida Field lent an able hand with the initial research. Susan Kelly contributed her customarily amiable moral support. And finally, Marta Justak was a very, very patient editor.
