	CONTENT: This site was designed by the Center for Technology in Teaching and Learning at Rice University as an interactive adventure to further students' understanding about drug abuse.
	AESTHETICS: The site has a slick, colorful interface. Graphics and animations make the adventures slow to load for users who have modems.
	ORGANIZATION: A top navigation bar appears on all pages. Blinking icons provide navigation within the games.
	REVIEW: With these interactive online games, students can learn about drugs and how to make informed decisions about avoiding drugs. Students take on the roles of scientists, historians, geographers, and detectives to solve the medicinal mysteries of drugs in these learning adventures. Three episodes, each with its own learning objectives, are now available: A Plaguing Problem, Ancient Alarm, and Analgesic Anxiety. Pre- and post-tests are available for each of the episodes, and teacher notes are included in the games.
