The interface of any given system is calibrated to favor particular user-engagements.

The interface plays a key role in defining our relationship both with the system and how we identify ourselves within the system.

In any given digital environment, users are required to act according to its laws. The interface, then, enforces those laws.

Even though my body doesn’t even change positions, even though I’m still staring at the same screen, World of Warcraft represents a whole different internet for me.

World of Warcraft is a deeply involving social experience, and one that motivates learners to return again and again to the interface. But it is also a learning environment.

In MMOGs 3D graphics-rendered avatars construct the player behind the screen, collaborating with others through shared quests and group responsibilities. In Twitter, identity emerges through dialogue, a networked concoction of text, videos, and graphics. Yet, in today’s MOOCs, identity is almost nonexistent, hidden under layers of hypertexts and tucked deep in forums, or worse, as an enrollment number.

Learning is a social experience, and it can and does happen within each of the communities listed above. The impact of that learning, however, is largely determined by the user’s ability to identify as a participant within the given interface. Without that critical moment of self-realization, the user will remain anonymous and the engagement will become just another blind interaction and no more self-aware than a simple algorithm.
