Apologies for cross-posting ... Join us for another brilliant #IALLTwebinar <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/ialltwebinar?source=feed_text&story_id=10154619388022494> Occupied Paris: Creating Historical Simulation for Foreign Language Learning Date: Tuesday, September 6, 2016 Time: 11:00am PT / 12:00pm MT / 1:00pm CT / 2:00pm ET Presenter(s): Terri Nelson, California State University, San Bernadino 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 <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Farisgames.org%2F&h=SAQFW16XZAQGSf81Y6ossxwWT29iX_RPg342Ll5fMmtmnyw&enc=AZMVfVoXdz-uCwYVWUOI0XL3QoEt0anh2mM1GRLBisd6aUKslyfoIUnM71Kv5ZceHxNMAr0dtrz0jwvNX48YAFPMK_vxta5CLoKwnf_R6OpW2dCaKDUJHsc4GOaCuVcjJrAjFphPkrelfetUcKEdRC3CTwxZLeDWfDklYol-TrktJIfJiMhsDfKR841bNa4IWcAYOO68bg8SZme2ON24z3re&s=1>).
