Watch Captain Chemo and his cadets as they embark on five adventures dealing with different issues concerned with cancer. The animated adventures have been created by Gameplay's specialist multimedia division - doUno.com. The animated and interactive educational site is primarily aimed at cancer patients, relatives and friends to explain the disease and its treatment. You can assist Captain Chemo and Chemo Command to answer questions about cancer and search for the answers to gain points, together with manoeuvring the chemo craft to shoot and destroy tumours.

How do you know if a chemical equation is balanced? What can you change to balance an equation? Play a game to test your ideas!

"Becoming Digital" traces the change in practice, theory and possibility as mechanical and chemical media are augmented or supplanted by digital media. These changes will be grounded in a semester length study of "reports from the front." These reports, found and introduced by students throughout the semester, are the material produced by and about soldiers and civilians on the battlefield from the introduction of wet photography during the Crimean and Civil Wars to contemporary digital content posted daily to Web 2.0 sites from areas such as Iraq and Afghanistan and possibly even the games and simulations they've inspired. Students will work through the ethical, aesthetic, technical and cultural problems raised by the primary content and secondary readings in three papers, a group project written with Inform 7, a presentation, and frequent discussion.

" In this project-based course, students from all disciplines are encouraged to understand how we learn from interactive computer environments, and delve into the process of designing and understanding simulations and games for learning."

Introduction to the theory and application of large-scale dynamic programming. Markov decision processes. Dynamic programming algorithms. Simulation-based algorithms. Theory and algorithms for value function approximation. Policy search methods. Games. Applications in areas such as dynamic resource allocation, finance and queueing networks, among others.

Foundations and philosophical applications of Bayesian decision theory, game theory and theory of collective choice. Why should degrees of belief be probabilities? Is it always rational to maximize expected utility? If so, why and what is its utility? What is a solution to a game? What does a game-theoretic solution concept such as Nash equilibrium say about how rational players will, or should, act in a game? How are the values and the actions of groups, institutions and societies related to the values and actions of the individuals that constitute them?

In Do I Have A Right?, you’ll run your own firm of lawyers who specialize in constitutional law. You’ll need to decide whether potential clients “have a right,” and if so, match them with the right lawyer. The more clients you serve and the more cases you win, the faster your law firm will grow! Can you think on your feet? You're going to have to!

The Second European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning provides a unique forum for all research related to technology-enhanced learning, including its interactions with knowledge management, business processes and work environments. This is a competitive and broad forum for technology enhanced learning research in Europe and world-wide through specialized workshops and the main conference. EC-TEL 2007 provides unique networking possibilities for participating researchers throughout the week and includes project meetings and discussions for ongoing and new research activities supported by the European Commission.

Games to help you learn and practice beginning French numbers, verbs and the names of days and months! Try each game at least once.

This course provides practical instruction in the design and analysis of non-digital games. Students cover the texts, tools, references and historical context to analyze and compare game designs across a variety of genres, including sports, game shows, games of chance, card games, schoolyard games, board games, and role–playing games. In teams, students design, develop, and thoroughly test their original games to understand the interaction and evolution of game rules. Students taking the graduate version complete additional assignments.

" An historical examination and analysis of the evolution and development of games and game mechanics. Topics include a large breadth of genres and types of games, including sports, game shows, games of chance, schoolyard games, board games, roleplaying games, and digital games. Students submit essays documenting research and analysis of a variety of traditional and eclectic games. Project teams required to design, develop, and thoroughly test their original games."

Despite much publicity surrounding the use of computer games in education, most applications have involved either expensive games for high-end users or force-fitting of commercial games to the academic environment. There have been few controlled studies to find the ‘active ingredients’, let alone account for placebo. The success of non-games such as The Sims and Second Life suggests that it is the virtual world interactivity rather than game elements which is creating the addictive interest.

What is well-established, however, is a demand for learning objects which can be dis-aggregated, customised, and adapted to curricula, rather than vice-versa. The theme is ‘make your own resource’. This requires low cost resources with flexibility, attractiveness, and a quick learning curve. Such materials have been sitting under our noses for some years in the form of the later additions to spreadsheets. The venerable spreadsheet can now serve as a presentation (ie- like PowerPoint) storyboard, quasi-animation tool, and game hub.

This presentation draws together the recent advances in Control Box form tools, clip art human characters, special fonts, and modified Charts (ie- graphs) to produce the look and feel of virtual worlds without special programming, macro’s, or plug-ins.

A variety of activities including games, cooking, worksheets, art projects, and stories introduce students to the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah.

The goal of this course is to explore the field of instructional gaming through a survey of readings, existing products, and those in development.

Techniques of creating narratives that take advantage of the flexibility of form offered by the computer. Study of the structural properties of book-based narratives that experiment with digression, multiple points of view, disruptions of time and of storyline. Analysis of the structure and evaluation of the literary qualities of computer-based narratives including hypertexts, adventure games, and classic artificial intelligence programs like Eliza. With this base, students use authoring systems to model a variety of narrative techniques and to create their own fictions. Knowledge of programming helpful but not necessary. This course explores the properties of non-linear, multi-linear, and interactive forms of narratives as they have evolved from print to digital media. Works covered in this course range from the Talmud, classics of non-linear novels, experimental literature, early sound and film experiments to recent multi-linear and interactive films and games. The study of the structural properties of narratives that experiment with digression, multiple points of view, disruptions of time, space, and of storyline is complemented by theoretical texts about authorship/readership, plot/story, properties of digital media and hypertext. Questions that will be addressed in this course include: How can we define 'non-linearity/multi-linearity', 'interactivity', 'narrative'. To what extend are these aspects determined by the text, the reader, the digital format? What kinds of narratives are especially suited for a nonlinear/ interactive format? Are there stories that can only be told in a digital format? What can we learn from early non-digital examples of non-linear and interactive story telling?

Students wear nametags of an ion and find others throughout the school with whom they can create ionic compounds.

We will explore the mathematical strategies behind popular games, toys, and puzzles. Topics covered will combine basic fundamentals of game theory, probability, group theory, and elementary programming concepts. Each week will consist of a lecture and discussion followed by game play to implement the concepts learned in class.
