These features have drawn the attention of some scholars towards the potential of commercial video games in education, especially through the lens of the constructionist theory. LittleBigPlanet 2, a console video game for the PlayStation 3, is one of the most promising games in this framework. It can be considered a \"2.0\" version of a collaborative constructionist environment, due to its powerful tools, which enable the creation and sharing of digital artifacts in a large online community. The use of the game in some educational contexts has inspired the idea of an integrated virtual environment dedicated to LittleBigPlanet 2 in education: an online space with learners and contributors, who can express their learning needs, discuss their ideas, and share their educational creations. Using LittleBigPlanet 2, the participants in the project will form teams to construct educational levels on a specific topic. A contest will be launched to set a topic, to incentive the participation, and to promote a collaborative/competitive approach. The participants will interact in the dedicated forum and will be asked to fill in a \"designer's notebook\", with their reflections on the construction of educational levels and their involvement in the community. The study aims at investigating the educational potential of a games-based virtual school, through the review of digital artifacts constructed in a collaborative environment and the qualitative analysis of two kinds of data: the online conversations and the \"designer's notebooks\". The study also aims at nurturing a critical and responsible approach to gaming (reflection) and learning (metacognition) through a constructionist methodology. As a desired outcome, the project aims at inspiring developers and producers of digital media to a new approach to game design, which may unleash the potential of commercial videogames in education.
