ÉDUCATION • Des jeux pour mieux comprendre Des études montrent que les élèves à qui on a proposé des jeux interactifs pour explorer une problématique ont de meilleurs résultats aux examens. Nous sommes en 2110 et le taux de méthane dans l’atmosphère a atteint un seuil critique. Vous avez le choix entre plusieurs décisions : accepter le risque d’une catastrophe planétaire et poursuivre l’extraction de ce gaz afin de satisfaire les besoins en énergie d’une population toujours plus nombreuse ; instaurer le principe d’un seul enfant par foyer pour réduire les demandes futures en énergie ; ou bien financer un projet de recherche d’une durée de dix ans afin de trouver des solutions techniques. Si les jeux informatiques parviennent à intéresser à ce point les élèves, c’est notamment en raison de la façon dont ils sont conçus. Renforcer l’attrait et l’efficacité des jeux éducatifs exigera de meilleurs produits et un marketing ciblé. Un nombre croissant de jeux pour ordinateur parviennent désormais à l’équilibre souhaitable.

How Urban Gaming Works" As new technologies evolve and mature, they infiltrate our lives in ways we don't necessarily expect. Cell phones and Global Position Systems (GPS) have their obvious uses -- you can make and receive calls when away from home, and you can easily find places or people, including yourself if you get lost. People around the world have been putting these technologies to innovative use, creating "experiences" in public settings that are part game, part performance art, and part sociology experiment. Dubbed urban gaming, these activities can range from recreating the 80s video game "Pac-Man" on a human scale in New York City to hiding "treasures" in state parks for people to find via GPS. In this article, we'll see what urban gaming is all about, find out how it works, and explore the potential of games and technology.
