The third annual Games and Simulation Contest is underway! Each year, PRESENT awards development time for the best online game or simulation proposal submitted by a faculty member. Here is your chance to design interactive web content that targets your most difficult teaching challenges. Interactive web content such as a game or simulation can provide students with immediate feedback, a multi-sensory learning environment, and an opportunity to learn by doing. Our talented staff can help turn your most ambitious ideas into reality. Development of the winning submission is scheduled to take place during the winter session, to provide maximum opportunity for the winner to interact with our development team.
Previous winners:
2005 - Penny Rodrick Williams: Bird Identification Game
2006 - Jules Bruck: Using an Architect's Scale
All contest proposals must be submitted by Friday, November 16. For more information visit the Games and Simulations Contest web site.
