NILE 2008 Talk August 11, 2008

Posted by Miss Collins in : Evaluation , 1 comment so far

Well, despite the nerves increasing steadily as more and more (very damp) people sat down in the room, the World Builder Project talk went really on Thursday!

The whole Adventure Author presentation was very well received by a varied audience of teachers, students, game designers, storytellers, writers and university and college experts, especially the part expertly delivered by the charasmatic young Andrew from Dundee! Everyone was very positive about the work we did at Campie and how much everyone involved learned from it. You can see the conference write-up on our presentation and the other great talks at NILE by following the link on our Blogroll to the Adventure Author Blog.

Thank you to everyone who has been following and supporting our blog with your comments and input -it made a huge difference to both the pupils and myself. Please do get in touch if you are interested in knowing more about the planning, delivery and evaluation of this project as there are plenty of digital documents to support it all.

Thank you once again to the Adventure Author team and, of course, to Andrew from Dundee for showing us how calm and humourous we could have been!

 

Our Project Features in International Conference! August 4, 2008

On Thursday 7th August 2008 the Adventure Author team will be taking part in the Narrative in Interactive Learning Environments 2008 conference, or NILE for short!

The Adventure Author team will be explaining how they use Neverwinter Nights 2 and how they have designed the Fridge Magnets and the Evaluations programmes that we tested for them during our project.

Then….. I will be speaking about our very own World Builder Project and how well it went and just how much the class got out of it! Eek! I am, of course, very proud of what we achieved and so am looking forward to sharing our stories and experiences with the audience.

A pupil from a school in Dundee who has also been creating his game with the AA team will also be there and giving a presentation on what he has learnt from it all.
