Each major period in history takes its character from the

medium of communication

used most widely at the time.

“The medium is

the message”

What is the message?

Vienna University of Technology Players operate track switches and adjusting the speed of virtual trains to prevent virtual trains from colliding. Researchers Daniel Wagner, Thomas Pintaric and Dieter Schmalstieg

Through mixing realities, research is

expanding the potential of embedded training

in the field and in battle labs to provide

integrated training anytime, anywhere. Advancements are

being transferred across industries

from business prototypes to

hospitality training.Integrated research in tracking, registration,

rendering, display, and scenario delivery are

expanding the possibilities of

CONSTRUCTIVE simulation as well as

after action review, and command and control

visualizations.

Improved Target Acquisition System Trainer

On October 19, 2006, participants gathered on NMC Campus to be part of the live webcast of the MacArthur Foundations announcement of their

$50 million investment in digital learning.

Video games are leading us

to new affective and cognitive

domains…

A new relationship

between humans and

machines.

By routing signals from helmet-mounted cameras, sonar and other equipment through the tongue to the brain, they hope to give elite soldiers superhuman senses similar to owls, snakes and fish….

Researchers at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition envision their work giving Army Rangers 360-degree unobstructed vision at night and allowing Navy SEALs to sense sonar in their heads while maintaining normal vision underwater -- turning sci-fi into reality.

Produced by the United Nations' World Food Programme, Kids join a team of emergency aid workers to save the fictitious island of Sheylan from starvation caused by drought and civil war.

The team goes on six missions to help save the island. The additional missions cleverly use games to demonstrate how emergency aid teams acquire food, make food packs, deliver food and establish long-term food supplies.

“An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is exponential, contrary to the common-sense ‘intuitive linear’ view. So we won't experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century -- it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today's rate)… because we're doubling the rate of progress every decade, we'll see a century of progress--at today's rate--in only 25 calendar years.”

Learning Game

Adapted from Dempsey, Lucassen, Haynes, and Casey (1996). Instructional applications of computer games. Paper presented to theAmerican Educational Research Association, 8–12 April 1996, New York.

…set of activities involving one or more [learners, set in an authentic context with assessment based on real world outcomes]. It has goals, constraints, payoffs and consequences. A [learning] game is rule-guided and artificial in some respects. Finally, a [learning] game involves some aspect of competition, even if that competition is with oneself.

[Learning Games]

Learning by Doing : A Comprehensive Guide to Simulations, Computer Games and Pedagogy in e-Learning and Other Educational Experiences, 2005 -- Clarke Aldrich

Recommendation #1: Increase emphasis on evaluating the effectiveness of new learning technologies and approaches to designing and implementing such systems. Use an adaptive learning approach that integrates real world problems, data, processes and systems; empirical research and human performance; and instructional design and delivery. The key is to integrate empirical research into the design and implementation of new modes of learning in order to inform future selection and variation of learning systems. This requirement is also shared by the US Department of Education (DOE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) in its efforts toward educational reform especially in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
