Book Review
Total Engagement is a book that presents the concept of using gaming elements in the work environment. I initially planned to publish this review but a few people mentioned that they had not had the time to read it, so I decided to make it available here.
RobotLegs
RobotLegs is a framework for Flex enterprise applications, meaning that code is structured in a clear (not prescribed) way. I am currently applying it to the construction of a knowledge construction tool and I will later be creating a few tutorials for people who want to use it.
Kinect & Flash
This is probably old news for many, but I recently discovered BLITZ's post on how to link the Kinect to Flash. Since then, I am experimenting with their code and Away3D to create a virtual world where literature can be embodied and experienced beyond the reading process.
Playcoder.net beta
I have released a test version of PlayCoder.NET, a Flex application to learn how to code in ActionScript 3. Learning how to code can be a frustrating process for a lot of people, particularly because initial tasks can be dull. In this environment, the learner completes code in order to play games. You can check out the application at playcoder.net
ICAO Journal Article
The fourth issue of the International Civil Aviation Organization journal includes my article on training the new generation of aviation professionals. Many thanks to Nicole Barrette-Sabourin and Anthony Philbin for their interest and help. You can check out the issue here.
Chapter on Game Design
My chapter about knowledge networks in exploratory games which appears in Design and Implementation of Educational Games: Theoretical and Practical Perspectives, edited by Pavel Zemliansky and Diane Wilcox, is now available here.
