Research Aim and Objectives (New version)

After some reflection upon my research aims and objectives, it has been decided that games will not be a part of the project, this stems into multiple areas of research and will prevent the work from being focused enough.

A questionnaire will also be utilised to determine the effectiveness of the practical assignments involved in the project.
