A Serious Game

A serious game. A game where the content is more than entertaining, it is about teaching. I get excited about the idea of possibly designing a serious game but at the same time it’s a scary thought. Finding a great idea for a serious game is going to be hard but I want to do something educational.
I read a text where Bruce Milligan listed “The ten commandments of serious games”. And the one that caught my eye was the seventh […]

Today during my first class we had a lecture on Project Management. Our teacher brought up the design and usage of a Gantt chart. I have previously had my experience with Gantt charts during my secondary school so it was nothing particularly new. What caught my attention though was that our teacher primarily talked about how Microsoft Project could generate Gantt charts, elimininating the somewhat tedious process of creating one. The problem is that Microsoft Project, though seemingly a great […]
