Hi,

In November 2008 as a speaker in the serious games category of the Montreal International Game Summit (MIGS) 2008, I presented the results of my doctoral dissertation on educational video game design. I believe that the research and creative methodology of my dissertation can be very useful in school, extracurricular (museum, cultural centre, etc.) and business contexts for equipping art, science and technology trainers, facilitators and instructors and such professionals in other fields conducive to the use of educational or serious games. I also believe that the web site presenting my work might be useful to your professional community working in game art & design, educational video game development, research and promotion.

Here is the link to MIGS 2008:
http://www.sijm.ca/2008/en-contributors-2.html

And the link to the Web version of my dissertation:
http://www.clikmedia.ca/CM/

I am available to answer your questions or to collaborate in the development of your professional and research community.

I was also wondering if you do have in mind a name that you could refer to me as someone who would be interested with this specific subject?

Sincerely,

Hi Rene,
I will check out your findings. I introduced The Lure of The Labyrinth to my grade 7 and 8 math class last year. Okay, I introduced and then basically we switched roles as they taught me. I was amazed at the way they learn and understand using trial an error and looking at patterns. It is so different than the linear way of thinking that may of us are accustomed to. Do you know the game? I was impressed by it and it was a big hit with the kids.

Hi Bridget,

Thanks for your interest in my project, greatly appreciated. Quite frankly, about The Lure of the Labyrinth app, I do have this Web site in my bookmarks but I didn't have the time to explore it. Your positive comment will surely encourage me to do it. Meanwhile, take a look at the list of educational video games easily accessible via my Web site at :

If I can be of any help with your projects, feel free to ask

Kind regards,
