  In Roundtable: Table 62: The Emerging Role of New Media in Higher Education

Abstract

Popular culture can influence society’s views and be a tool to examine them. Representations of higher education in video games are little explored. This study examines higher education institutions in video games. Findings show more diversity than other forms of fiction while also communicating several negative messages about the academy.
