September
Occupied Paris: Creating Historical Simulation for Foreign Language Learning
Terri Nelson, California State University, San Bernardino September 6, 2016
2 pm Eastern / 1 pm Central / 12 pm Mountain / 11 am Pacific
Several time periods during the Nazi-occupied Paris are studied using an
instructor-created role-playing game (RPG) where upper-division French
students take on fictional identities. Underlying this virtual world is an
ARIS game where design mechanics scaffold student learning. ARIS is an
open-source authoring environment for mobile games, data gathering and
interactive story-telling. The presentation
will: (1) present the pedagogical choices made in creating the game based on
underlying theories of learning, gaming, foreign language acquisition, and
moral/ethical development in young adults; (2) demonstrate game play and
discuss student reactions in pilot-test groups and (3) give a brief
demonstration of the open-source authoring tool, ARIS (arisgames.org).
