ISBN: 9781433109058 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Some educational researchers claim that videogames can energize learning in both traditional and non-traditional contexts; cultivate skills more useful to a changing economy; and present information in ways more appealing to students. The notion of -serious games- dates back as early as the 1950s, but so far has failed to make a significant lasting impact on what goes on in education.

From writing as...

From Digital to Analog: «Agrippa» and Other Hybrids in the Beginnings of Digital Culture

Agustin Berti uses the release of Agrippa (A Book of...
