Today's students are accustomed to highly stimulating and interactive content, whether in the form of video games or mobile apps. As a result, they respond to a higher level of interactivity and engagement with educational content as well. For those who would like to use interactive media for instruction and training, the technical barriers to producing educational content can be substantial.
Now, researchers have created a platform for learning math and programming skills. The platform makes it easier, faster, and less expensive to develop training games and simulations that can reach users around the world. Software written for this platform can be accessed by multiple players at once in an ordinary web browser environment. And because the software can be deployed to central servers, authors can quickly update the content for all users while preserving the player experience.Image credit: National Science Foundation
