Disciplinary Interests: Learning Objects

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).
