In her work in the field of MOOS, she designed interfaces and a new programming language for virtual communities and examined how the online environment influenced the interactions of the participants. With her assistant Joshua Berman, Bruckman developed the Turing Game , a computer game for exploring human interaction and identity based on the Turing test and played by more than 11,000 participants in 81 countries in a calendar year. In 2002, she received the Jan Hawkins Award for her research in learning technology .

Bruckman became a Fellow of the ACM in 2018 and is a member of the SIGCHI Academy. At ACM, she chairs the CSMW Steering Committee and the Ethics and Plagiarism Committee . She contributed to the update of the ACM Code of Ethics and Conduct in 2018.
