Initial Description ― Learning1. Team1.1. MembersGary Knoll, John Lansing, Laoleng Xiong, Keisuke Nishimoto 1.2. Individual ContributionsWe will assign individual tasks as needed between development and communication with teachers/students.2. MotivationGames are fun, and it is an interesting problem to try and marry the enjoyment of a video game with the rewards of learning.3. Project Idea3.1. GoalMotivate kids to learn more with less effort.3.2. ObjectiveTo develop a computer-based video game(s) that can be used to teach a simple concept.3.3. MeansWe will be developing applets in Java to display specific concepts in the context of a video game. This way we can deploy our applets on the Internet for use from any location.3.4. Specific ChallengesMaking interesting graphics will be a challenge for us since we are not primarily graphics designers. Also, creating applets that actually teach a concept well will be the greatest challenge of this project.3.5. Relationship to CourseDesign – It will be an inherent design problem for us to create these applets effectively. They will need to be designed so they are fun, motivating and actually teach a concept.Learning – This project is mostly related to learning since we would like to use this technology as a learning tool. Collaboration – We will be exploring the collaboration between teachers, developers and students in a learning environment. learning group
