Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) are played by millions of people around the world. Within MMORPGs, players explore, solve mysteries, craft items, battle against dungeon or raid bosses, or compete against other players, all while using a variety of information and information behaviors. Role-players in MMORPGs develop identities and engage in interactive storytelling with other role-players as their characters. An ethnographic approach combining overt participant observation and engagement, semi-structured interviews, and artifact collection was used to explore and describe the social information behaviors of role-players through the lens of the theory of information worlds. The social types evident in the role-playing community in WildStar, a science fantasy-themed MMORPG, are closely interrelated to and differentiated by social norms and information values that dictate acceptable characters, stories, character actions, and appropriate lore sources as well as how to role-play without violating the boundary between in- and out-of-character information worlds. Role-players maintained the in-character and out-of-character boundary using a set of specific information behaviors to enable engaging and immersive role-playing experiences. Implications of the findings for the theory of information worlds as well as potential applications of role-playing and MMORPGs are also discussed.

Recently, English education of educational institutions is gradually invigorated as the importance of English education for preschooler is increasing. Role-play, in particular, is known as an effective way to learn English for children because it promotes children's interest in language and naturally encounters English-speaking culture. Therefore, in this paper, we tried to find out how to effectively use UCC in role-playing for English education for preschoolers. First of all, questionnaires for pre and post-test were conducted for preschoolers. The results are analyzed by SPSS to find out children's understanding of UCC, interest in English, interest in role-playing, and interest in acting. As a result of the analysis, most children knew UCC well and showed strong interest in watching and producing UCC. Also, the more interested in English and role-playing, the more they wanted to show more advanced English and acting through the feedback of the contents they produced. Therefore, even in preschool children's English education, the development of language and acting can be shown by producing UCC through role-playing under the teacher's control and receiving feedback on it. The results of this study are expected to be effectively used when planning English education through role-playing in daycare centers or kindergartens.

The purpose of this research was to find out if the analogical role-playing class activity had an effect on the students' academic achievements on cellular respirations as well as their science learning motivation for those who took part in the cellular respiration. To examine the effects of applying the activity, the research was conducted targeting a high school with humanities and social sciences courses, located in Busan. The target was specified as two classes that had selected a Biology II class, with one class (27 students) set as the test group and the other class (28 students) set as the control group. The conclusion drawn from this research was as follows: First, it seemed that the analogical role-playing activity helped the students to take their own parts in cellular respiration and gave them an opportunity to explain the concepts through direct physical activities, enhancing their academic achievements. Second, it was concluded that as the students found confidence and relevance in scientific knowledge as well as obtained a sense of accomplishment, the analogical role-playing class activity increased their level of satisfaction and their science learning motives. Third, as a result of the interviews on the change of the concept, students expressed some dissatisfaction over the new concept, and thought of the analogical role-playing activity as an intelligible alternative. It appeared that the alternative was plausible and fruitful.

MMORPG(Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game)에서의 게임 서버는 모든 플레이어에게 게임 정보(오브젝트, NPC, 이벤트, 다른 플레이어들의 정보 등)를 실시간으로 전송해야 한다. 그러나, MMORPG에 참여하는 플레이어의 증가로 인해 전송되는 정보의 양이 많아지면 네트워크 전송 지연과 서버의 부담으로 인해 플레이어들간 정보 전송의 문제가 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 AOI(Area Of Interest, 관심영역)를 이용하여 자원 이동 및 동기화를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 구성요소들과 적용방안을 제시한다.
