Aspiring young pilots from three high schools prepare flight plans, learn about instruments and weather, and take their first "

Extractions: Excerpts from the following paper were presented by Elaine M. Raybourn for the panel "Advanced Simulation Game Design" at the 1997 Association for Business Simulation and Experiential Learning (ABSEL) Conference held in New Orleans, Louisiana. Play is an underrated component of the cultural learning and socialization process. Nevertheless it is through play that children are first made aware of the appropriate behaviors, norms, and rules of a culture. As adults, the learning process continues though structured social activities, or rule-governed communication behaviors. According to Eric Berne (1964), author of Games People Play, human relationships and communication are comprised of game-playing behaviors such as following or violating cultural scripts and rules. It may be said that playing games either for fun, relational satisfaction, or social learning is a natural human phenomenon. Games have long provided a structured environment for quickly learning complex behaviors. Most games used in a professional context fall into the following categories: teaching, training, operations, research, therapy, and entertainment (Shubik, 1975; 1989). Among the fields that most use games for teaching and training are management science, economics, psychology, sociology, political science, military science, and education. Games used to replicate and teach behavioral models and processes that employ the use of a human in a particular role, actual or simulated, are called simulation games (Shubik, 1975).

Extractions: Vintage Computer Games of the Eighties This is a list of the more memorable games for computers. I am not looking for ARCADE GAMES. This list is for games that were strictly for computer users. This page currently edited by: Gwen . Past editor: 3D Monster Maze (Sinclair ZX-81) Astonishing 3-d game for the beloved Sinclair ZX-81, where you try to escape from a labyrinth where lives a T-Rex. Quite simple, used to scare us to death and probably can be called "the grandfather of 3d games". Adventure Construction Set Airborne Rangers Came out around 1988.Sort of similar to "Commando", but with more realism (not that it was realistic either.) Players went on a variety of missions in various geographic settings. Lots of fun! ALF It was based on the tv show but it was the friends of ALF from Melmac had crash landed and ALF was suppose to pick up pieces lying around to fix the ship. he eat cats running around, and pizzas for power. but u had to watch out for Willie and the DOg Catacher or else they took u away and u would lose and your poor friends were stuck. it was a floppy disk for DOS Alice In Wonderland Sounds dorky, I know, but this was the most annoying game I have ever played. Very complex and hard to play it had a difficult interface. It ran on Apple IIes, but we ran it on a IIc. It was actually sort of an action game and had a 'donkey kong' like interface.
Extractions: avatarp@well.sf.ca.us Abstract Conflict confronts everyone daily. Some people have learned how to mange this conflict in pro-social, constructive ways. Many others respond destructively, with discouragement, withdrawal, or even violence. Students who are Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) or experience the frustrations of Learning Disabilities (LD) are particularly vulnerable and more likely to handle conflicts inappropriately. However, with assistance they can learn to internalize the strategies of good conflict management. These strategies include accurate listening, clear explanations, humor, postponing, compromising, seeking assistance, negotiating, and so on. When students practice positive responses to conflict, improved mental health and learning are likely to follow. This paper describes the design and development of cooperative multi-player games employing virtual reality technology to teach SED and LD children conflict management. Virtual reality technology is useful in teaching conflict management because conflicts can be resolved in a non-threatening virtual world. Additionally, the excitement level which VR based games generate encourages involvement in the learning process. The games under development feature real-time three-dimensional sound and graphics, voice control, and intelligent agents. The current state of the first of these games to be developed, and the virtual reality system implementing it, will be described in detail.

This paper is still a early draft and I am afraid it will retain that status for a while Introductory reference material in the Appendix sections has awful very rough draft status. It is useful only as far as it points to some real reading. The table of Contents is in a separate file (by pure laziness) for the moment). Everything is straight Framemaker to html translation without modifications...) One learns by doing something (psychology) The learning environment designer must take into account both perspectives. WWW-based courseware must not restrict itself to delivery of educational content. It must be grounded in some model of instruction and learning. Many possibilities exist and haven proven to be effective. However, each paradigm works under certain conditions in certain situations using some set of specific educational technology. For example, it can easily be argued that a good book is better than hypertext version of that book (why do people always print out things?). Also, general rules can be formulated such as "learning without doing is pretty useless in most domains". Consider the following questions:
