Someone actually got a Master's Degree in education from the University of London by researching three kids playing CTP2!

I got the impression that the students weren't really into the type of game CTP2 is, so the conclusion of the study would depend on the type of person chosen.
As a kid i loved any kind of 'historic' simulation game, obviously Civ being the first big 'wow - this is great game', I also loved Pirates because of its historical context.

On the otherhand Final Fantasy left me felling a bit cold.......

So i think computer simulations can be a very educational tool, still its like any other medium, if the kid doesn't have an interest in the subject matter it can be very hard to generate any.

My dissertation was much shorter

Very interesting read, both from a gaming and professional point of view (I sort of have a background in education). Thanks for the link, Smiley

Medium.
Seems like you have to be interested in History to gain the Benefits.

But this is kinda strange:
p.55

quote: Sid Meier’s Alfa Centauri

its correctly titled in the Bibliography:

quote: Sid Meier’s Alpha Centari (1999) Infrogrames

Okay it was Infogrames but it was close really close

//oh wait "Centari"? ah well...
