Coming Soon - Flash Information Space

Finally applying my research, I will be posting an interactive information space built using the Adobe Flash platform describing my work in a much more interesting way than plain text. Hopefully you will have a touchscreen to play with it! You can read about my research here.

 

January 2010 - Chapter in Press

My chapter about knowledge networks in exploratory games, which is to appear in Design and Implementation of Educational Games: Theoretical and Practical Perspectives, edited by Pavel Zemliansky and Diane Wilcox, is now in press. [more...]

 

Architecting Spaces

Digital environments share many characteristics with their architectural counterparts. The interactive media designer creates the visual elements of the virtual space and also designs the information structure and navigation that will allow the user to traverse the site, like a physical space. He/she also builds the application architecture, the engine behind the experience. Creating these environments for education requires a broad understanding of all knowledge domains involved to obtain the most effective results possible from an instructional intervention.

Ed. Tech

My research focuses on the analysis of perceptual learning in digital, information-rich environments. It applies different views on cognition in order to understand the learning process and enhance the user's experience in these spaces. Digital games as instructional tools are seen as a special case, with particular challenges in their design and implementation. I have chosen software training as the specific area of application of this research work. [more...]

Interactive Media

The Adobe Flash platform is pushing the boundaries and allowing designers and developers to create more interesting applications every day, and all thanks to ActionScript. Beyond its academic value, interactive media offers an extraordinary outlet for creativity. Extremely talented individuals continuously contribute to the community with innovative libraries available to everybody. [more...]
