Crimcity:Exploring educational issues of citizenship and criminality using virtual 3-d environments

Posted by Scheuermann on 06 Dec 2005 14:14 GMT
Reviews of current educational software reveal that there is minimal use of VE technology to provide learning experiences in personal and social development or social problems. In schools and colleges there is little opportunity for students in the 14-19 age range to explore real problems in a truly interactive computer environment, for example to develop social awareness through exploration of events and consequences. On the other hand, young people are consumers of games on home computers that involve them in exciting problem solving activities. Though many games do have some basis in reality few, if any, have roots in key themes of the European schools curricula and relevance to the European Community's transversal policies. This project aims to bridge the gap between the currently available educational software and the more dynamic games software market.
