Neurology of Gaming, Infographic « All Kinds of Minds As with most things, “gaming” (or being engaged in video games) has both positives and negatives when it comes to developing minds. Too much gaming, and the positive effects are overshadowed by the negative. Yet, the right balance can add another avenue for pursuing educational goals and achievement. As a result, more and more programs are using gaming to reach and teach students in ways they never could before. Below is an infographic from Online Universities looking at the brain on games.

Cyberculture: The Key Concepts - Google Recherche de Livres Acumen: An Interactive Multimedia Simulation Based on Situated Learning Theory Back to List of papers Acumen: An Interactive Multimedia Simulation Based on Situated Learning Theory Peter Standen & Jan Herrington School of Management & University Learning Systems Edith Cowan University Abstract This paper describes the development and evaluation of a multimedia simulation for teaching research skills to business students. We describe the theoretical principles used in designing the simulation, particularly situated learning theory which claims a number of advantages for teaching that is 'situated' in the context of real world problems. Our multimedia package can be related to a long tradition of teaching methods in business that attempt to put theoretical principles into life-like contexts, via case studies, experiential learning, internships, or real-world projects. Introduction Teachers of applied disciplines have always sought ways to make classroom learning more applicable to the world of professional practice. Theory of Situated Learning The Teaching Problem
The Best Figure Drawing Books Ever I put together this list of my favorite figure drawing, sketching and anatomy books for fellow artists and student friends. You can download any and all of these books for free. I hope you'll find them useful. Alone At Number One Topping my list of the best drawing books ever, stands THE PRACTICE & SCIENCE OF DRAWING by Harold Speed. For those of you who have attended or are currently attending an Art College, these teachings may not be such a revelation, it is no secret that most art teachers use Harold Speed's book like a preacher uses the Holy Bible but judging from the overall mediocrity of today's 'high' art education, I would dare say this book is worth ten years of any decent art school's body of knowledge. I read this book every once in a while (the same old beat up copy you see in the above picture) and it never ceases to amaze me, I discover something new and helpful to me, every single time. The Andrew Loomis CollectionLoomis was a great artist, but he was a better teacher.

Islands in the Clickstream ... - Google Recherche de Livres Virtual world The user accesses a computer-simulated world which presents perceptual stimuli to the user, who in turn can manipulate elements of the modeled world and thus experience a degree of telepresence.[6] Such modeled worlds and their rules may draw from the reality or fantasy worlds. Example rules are gravity, topography, locomotion, real-time actions, and communication. Communication between users can range from text, graphical icons, visual gesture, sound, and rarely, forms using touch, voice command, and balance senses. Virtual worlds are not limited to games but, depending on the degree of immediacy presented, can encompass computer conferencing and text based chatrooms. History[edit] The concept of virtual worlds significantly predates computers. Among the earliest virtual worlds implemented by computers were virtual reality simulators, such as the work of Ivan Sutherland. Maze War was the first networked, 3D multi-user first person shooter game. Virtual world concepts[edit] Economy[edit]
