The Be Internet Awesome site features a game called Interland. The game is set in a virtual world that students navigate by correctly answering questions about Internet safety.

One of the first things you may think of when you think about a game is competition. Traditionally most games engage players in some way with a competitive aesthetic, the aim being to win or beat other players. However, more games are starting to use fellowship to engage players. Scriptwriter Taryn Stack looks at the rise of Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Games (MMORPGs) and cooperative board games which demonstrate that fellowship and co-operation are just as valid as competition when it comes to creating engagement.

Digital games have the potential to transform K-12 education as we know it. But what has been the real experience among teachers who use games in the classroom? In 2013, the Games and Learning Publishing Council conducted a national survey among nearly 700 K-8 teachers. The report reveals key findings from the survey, and looks at how often and why teachers use games in the classroom, as well as issues they encounter in their efforts to implement digital games into their practice.

The Copyright Myth-Reality Cards were produced for the launch of the Copyright User website at the AHRC’s Creative Economy Showcase event on 12 March 2014. Using the same data collected during the FAQs exercise and similar qualitative techniques, we identified the 8 copyright misconceptions that occurred most often among users and distilled them into a set of cards. The cards consist of text and illustrations, with a copyright myth on one side and the copyright reality on the other. You can freely download and print the entire set of cards here.

“Moodle Man!” came the cry from behind me. I cringed. I’d made the fatal mistake of walking through the campus helpdesk area during lunchtime on assignment hand-in day. I turned, clutching my meal deal, to see a student, and one of my regular customers, come barrelling towards me, laptop in hand. “How do I submit my assignment again?” she asked. “I really need a Jill Watson,” I said, abandoning my sandwich behind the desk. “Who’s Jill Watson?” came the reply. “Never mind, let’s have a look at your assignment”.

Increasingly, educators are looking to research about how kids learn to influence teaching practices and tools. What seemed like on-the-fringe experiments, like game-based learning, have turned into real trends, and have gradually made their way into many (though certainly not most) classrooms.
