Dr. David Neville
Currently pursuing an interdisciplinary software development project that will program a 3D digital game-based learning environment for the teaching of the German language, vocabulary, and culture to beginning university students. Specifically, the team will develop a graphic adventure game requiring students to navigate a virtual German train station while meeting specific instructional goals such as purchasing a train ticket, locating the appropriate track, making sense of arrival and departure tables, and interacting with non-player characters (NPCs).
