My name is Reece O’ Reilly Butler and I’m a graduate of the Digital Humanities and IT course that began in 2017 and the Digital Cultures MA that began in 2020. I am primarily interested in working with Video Games and Education and looking at the application that Serious Games may have on education.

Furthermore a substantial body of data was gathered last year through my testing process and this will assist in developing my work from last year and expanding upon it. Exploring the different potentials for Exergaming in addition to serious video games and entertainment video games is a key motivation.’

This website will be used to host a number of assignments and responses to readings from Digital Cultures. It will also be used to host work from my Thesis in my Digital Cultures MA. My thesis is titled “The Social Impacts of Exergaming during the Covid-19 Pandemic” and is centered around exergaming. This is a type of technology-driven physical activity that incorporates both exercise and gaming.
