PRP - Ninth artefact, ideas


For the final artefact rather then creating a game that could be tested I wanted to create a something that could improve the results from artefact eight. The results were not as promising as I expected however a main point that was mentioned was that the children would have preferred if they could communicate with people who they know rather than strangers. I think that this is understandable and to round up my research I wanted to try and create a game that could collaborate friends, schools etc within the Moshi Monster site allowing the players to not only compete against there fellow peers but would hopefully feel more at ease knowing that they are playing with someone who they know.

Another aim of this artefact is potentially create an idea that could work in and out of school, and in a results hopefully improving the Moshi Monster educational side. The game that I plan to design will be quite simple and will focus not so much on education but more on collaborating children and allowing them to work as a team and hopefully result in improving group-working and social skills.

The game has to be something that will make the children compete so a simple scoring system will be in place. I am still deciding on which game to design but the main points that it will have to address will be to allow collaboration and be simple enough to appeal to everyone.
