Digital storytelling using the Sims 3, telling the tale of a homeless father and daughter. Really great emotional work with both the images and the writing.

The author calls this a new learning theory combining behaviorism & cognitivism. I see a new instructional design model that combines elements from a number of different sources, but I'm not sure I see a new learning theory. The model seems very complex; how long would you have to work with this before you internalized all the separate parts of the model?

Student results were better using this model. However, the control group was tested before doing a roleplaying game and the experimental groups did the game prior to testing. This could just show that roleplaying helps students understand characters in the Aeneid. Free registration required.

A game developed so that visually impaired users can play it, using either a Wiimote or keyboard. One of the goals was to create "an engaging game that relies more on high quality audio than visuals." Very interesting concept; quality accessibly game design could also help designing for other applications.

Interview with the author of a book about extensive research on violence in video games. Instead of just researching the effects on college students playing for 15 minutes, this author looked at real children and how they play games. One finding was that many children who play violent games use it to "get their anger out."
