Abstract

The web adventure series, THE RECONSTRUCTORS® was created in a comic book style using Macromedia FLASH to teach middle school students about the neurobiology and history of two classes of drugs, opiates and club drugs. The web-based approach is grounded in cognitive theories of learning and presents the latest scientific research about these drugs focusing on a central mystery for the player to solve. Within each episodic adventure, manipulation of objects and virtual experiments allow the player to become involved in the solving the mystery. The web site (http://reconstructors.rice.edu) is part of a project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
