[arg_discuss] Educational ARGs

[Christy Dena]

Hello Richard,

In the forthcoming ARG whitepaper there is a section on ARGs and  
Academia. In it I cover (amongst other things) educators who are  
studying ARGs; ARGs that have been created in education for students  
and for educators; ARGs that are created as part of someone's  
education (research). I also just posted on this list about some ARGs  
that were recently created by 3rd year Multimedia and Digital Design  
students at Monash University, Caulfield, Australia under the  
direction of Troy Innocent. Contact me directly if you'd like more  
info. :)

But none of these include ARGs that have been created for businesses  
as pedagogical devices, of which there are many.

I think this sort of interest in ARGs for education (in secondary,  
tertiary and business settings) is just going to increase and the  
IGDA ARG SIG can be a valuable source of information. A section,  
therefore, on the IGDA ARG SIG webpage with this information would be  
really helpful...

Cheers,
Christy
