Age of computers

Abstract

Age of Computers (AoC) is a new approach to the learning activities that supplements the auditorium lectures in a computer fundamentals course with 250 students. It is a computer game that presents the students a diverse set of problems from the course topics linked to computer history. It is implemented as set of dynamic web pages retrieved from a database. A prototype was used in 2003, and the feedback is positive and a strong motivation for continuing the project. The paper describes AoC, its use and implementation.

Innovating the Instruction of Mathematical Concepts: How Does the Integrated Use of Digital Games and Language-Based Teaching Matter?

“…This section provides some suggestions as to how mathematics teachers can leverage affordances of both DGBL-based mathematical concepts teaching and SFL. The combined affordances include supporting students in deconstructing mathematical concepts through SFL-informed teaching (Schleppegrell, 2007;Shreyar et al, 2009;O'halloran, 2011;Zolkower and de Freitas, 2012), while creating engaging and motivating contexts through DGBL (Mokka et al, 2003;Natvig and Line, 2004;Ebner and Holzinger, 2007;Ke, 2009).…”
