Where Dungeons & Dragons Fails Video Games Recently, I was excited in my purchase of a new PC game, The Temple of Elemental Evil (TOEE), created by veteran developers Troika who were most famous for their work on Fallout and Arcanum, two great games that exhibit some very pleasing aspects to Role Playing Games (RPG). In this regard, TOEE does not falter; the game has solid showing with most gameplay, design, graphics and ease of use. Troika did not develop the rules to their game, and outsourced them to a think-tank. I'll not mince words; this is no review of TOEE, although it could be, rather an examination into the flaws behind From Creative Commons: weblog on April 12, 2004 at 4:45 p.m..

Online Games This is an odd article in that, while it describes and touts the use of games in learning, its understanding of what constitutes a game seems to be restricted almost entirely to the quiz show format, following the model of Jeopardy Millionaire. Sure, these are games, but it seems to me that online trivia is only a small part of the picture. Additionally, when the authors examine "why people play" they refer to a survey of instructors and suggest that games are played because they "maintain participant interest, relay concepts, [and] make the training more enjoyable and fun."

Gurus v. Bloggers, Round 1 This is a fun article that makes a great point. The concept is this: line up the websites of eight design and usability gurus against the websites of eight bloggers who write on the same topics. Evaluate the respective websites for design and usability. The result, needless to say, is one-sided, and not in favour of the supposed experts. Which makes me wonder: what if we took the e-learning gurus and lined them up against the bloggers, and asked them to, say, use the internet to facilitate learning?

Student Loan Consolidation is Silver Lining for Class of 2004 Most student loans have repayment terms which include a ten year repayment schedule.

The silver lining in what is otherwise a fairly dark cloud is that federal student loan consolidation can help to reduce these payments by extending the loan term and locking in current, low fixed rates.
