Our team is working on a new game that draws on the best elements of DISTIL. We are now developing a very sophisticated learning tool that allows the players to experience how their behaviours can shift the corporate culture of the working group that they are leading. There are three elements that are very exciting about this: The game is essentially based on a psychological-rigorous personality

DISTIL has made amazing strides over the past two years. We have a working demonstration that meaningful assessment can be carried out on the really rich data that is captured in digital games. I verified this with an external client recently who was completely blown away at the sophistication of the feedback that we can provide on their data. What really impressed them was that the data we used

DISTIL wins Two Key Awards at DevLearn 2008!I've been working on a very challenging project over the past year, building meaningful assessment into learning games.

Serious games can change the traditional "drill and kill" educational system by creating learner centered, "what if", virtual environments. The learner feels much more in control, and actually enjoys interacting in these environments.The following process can be efficiently used for designing and implementing effective serious games:The first port in this journey should be to identify the
