Hello,
I am carrying out an investigation, commissioned by a UK funding body,
into the use of gaming consoles in learning and research scenarios,
especially in the education sector. By gaming consoles I refer to both
monitor or TV based systems such as the (Sega) Dreamcast and (Sony)
Playstation2, and mobile gaming-oriented devices such as the (Nintendo)
Game Boy Advance.
The scope of the investigation includes:
- the use of the online facilities of current generation gaming consoles
in order to access network (and Internet/Web) based services and materials
- the use of consoles as learning-oriented communication devices
- the use of consoles to exchange research or teaching information and materials
Some further background information is available on my web site at:
http://www.ceangal.com/services/gaming/
If your educational institution, unit, department or course is carrying
out one of the above, or is planning/thinking about doing so, then I
would be very interested in hearing about it.
Thanks,
John Kirriemuir, Ceangal
