Inanimate Alice - The Big City
Current Research
How can we leverage the immersive nature of videogame worlds to engage young readers in the critical language, literacy, and technology skills they will need for the future?
Research Group
To help realize our goal of providing every teacher and student with access to Inanimate Alice, a transdisciplinary team, the Inanimate Alice Research Group (IARG), has been established.

My students have been so highly engaged and can’t wait to do more! They even wanted to know if they could do it at home, and that is unheard of in our school community!

I love the visual presentation and engaging activities that keep my Deaf students and reluctant readers so engrossed that they forget it is learning!!

I love how the language is so supported by the graphics that even beginner English language learners can understand it!

I have been a massive fan of Inanimate Alice for almost 6 years now. It is the only resource that has travelled with me from Grade 6 to 7 to 8 and currently in Grade 2. A fantastic teaching tool.

I want to praise @InanimateAlice for being THE best non-coding related educational tool I have ever used because of how it engages my students. Nothing quite like a character to lead them in.

I am so proud of the students’ work but even more so, they are so proud and empowered. That, I think, is the greatest reward!
