Abstract
During the past several years, we have had the opportunity to develop and test a variety of technology-based programs designed to motivate students and help them learn to think and reason about complex problems. In this paper we provide an overview of one of our programs — the Adventures of Jasper Woodbury — the theoretical framework that guides its ongoing development, and some of the research results associated with this work.
