    Notes on slide 1

    While the US has retained its position being home to the world's biggest online population with over 153 million total Internet users, it registered a marginal growth of just two per cent in a year. China has emerged as the second biggest Internet population with 86.8 million users, followed by Japan with 53.6 million, Germany (32 million) and the UK (30 million) in the top five.India had over 21 million Internet users aged over 15 years at the end of JanuaryIndia has been ranked eighth ahead of countries like Canada, Italy, Brazil, Spain, Russia, the Netherlands and Mexico. However, the growth rate in India was far ahead of countries having a much larger online population like the US, UK, Japan, Germany, South Korea, France, Spain and the Netherlands - registering only single-digit growth rates. Internet users outside the US now account for 80 per cent of the world's online population, with rapidly developing countries experiencing double-digit growth rates year-over-year, comScore Networks Europe MD Bob Ivins said. Among the top 15 countries ranked according to penetration, Internet users in India grew by the maximum 33 per cent, followed by the Russian Federation and China vying for the other honours with 21 and 20 per cent respectively, comScore said.

    Executive SummarySummary of Results• Total enrollment per department by majors and pre-majors in U.S. computer science programs isup 6.2 percent over last year. If only majors are considered, the increase is 8.1 percent. This isthe first increase in total enrollment in computer science programs in six years.• The average number of new undergraduate students per department in U.S. computer scienceprograms is up 1.7 percent over last year. If only majors are considered, the increase is 9.5percent.• Bachelor's degree production in computer science was down 10 percent this year, compared toa nearly 20 percent decline last year.• Diversity in computer science undergraduate programs remains poor. The fraction of Bachelor’sdegrees awarded to women held steady at 11.8 percent this year. As was the case last year,nearly two-thirds of those receiving bachelor’s degrees were White, non-Hispanics.• Total Ph.D. production among the responding departments grew to 1,877 for the period betweenJuly 2007 and June 2008. This represents a 5.7 percent increase over last year.Computing Degree

    XNA Game Studio 3.0Fact SheetOctober 2008 Overview: XNA is the game development platform offering tools, technology, and solutions to help student, independent, and professional game developers create games for Microsoft platforms.

    14. Alice and Panda3D: Tools for Creating 3D Content Randy Pausch Caitlen Kelleher, Jessie Schell & Josh Yelon (CMU ETC) At Carnegie Mellon‟s Entertainment Technology Center (etc.cmu.edu), there are two tools for broad distribution: Alice (www.alice.org) is intended for introductory computer programming courses, providing a revolutionary video-game authoring approach. V2 includes EA SIMS assets. Panda3D (www.panda3d.org) is a high-end, commercial-grade game engine originally developed by Walt Disney Imagineering and now under joint development with Carnegie Mellon. It is suitable for use in higher- level CS courses.

    17. Gaming in Computer Science http://research.microsoft.com/ur/us/gaming/ Mastering programming and software engineering is a challenge Attracting, Keeping and Engaging Students is tricky. Classroom assignments, using Games capture the students imagine, attention, and enthusiasm Students attend more, stay longer and learn better. Many assets (curriculum, papers, code examples) in the Academic Repository.

    21. www.G4LI.org 1. Discover what works, codify and publish 2. Isolate, prototype, test and refine 3. Incorporate into games, test and refine.
    22. Games for Learning Institute New York University – Supported by Microsoft External Research Multi-discipline research project to explore and quantify the benefits of gaming to the process of learning. Excite and inspire young learners. Address educational challenges in science, technology and, especially, math . New York University has partnered with Microsoft Research to create a pioneering Technology can change how Games for Learning Institute, dedicated to students learning, making it far advancing our understanding of a range of issues related to the design, use, more natural and intuitive and evaluation of computer games in formal Games are scaleable across the and informal educational settings. net. -- Ken Perlin, Professor, Computer Science, NYU http://research.microsoft.com/ur/ us/gamesinstitute.aspx?0sr=a

    24. Truth and Consequences Phase 1: Every (existing) Phase 1 – Press, game is fair game Interviews, Phase 2: Deeper Presentations investigation of most engaging (existing) Phase 2 – games from phase 1 => Publications (AERA Design factor candidates etc.) Phase 3: Isolate, Phase 3 – XNA GS prototype, test our own prototypes, mini-games publications Phase 4: Verify design factor candidates in lab Phase 4 – XNA GS and field; deploy, test, mini games, refine what's fun, teaches publications, Press. and is transferrable

    26. Built on XNA Game Studio! XNA Game Studio Extends Visual Studio 2008 to create games using C# XNA Framework Framework Cross-platform game development framework and runtime .NET for Xbox 360 and Zune Custom version of the .NET Compact Framework XNA GS V3.1 is even better avatars & video playback!
    27. Transforming the classroom with collaborative computer games Miguel Nussbaum, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile Adapt G4LI educational game design guide lines and its corresponding assessment criteria and tools to include collaboration aspects. Deploy, Develop, Implement and Assess collaborative learning games including two different scenarios: • In classroom face to face MMG type of activity • Participatory simulation with augmented reality. Validate G4LI educational game design guide lines and its corresponding assessment criteria and tools. Understand the new role of the teacher defining his guiding role and develop, implement and assess the corresponding tools.
    28. Summary The world is changing.. Internet continues to grow; More in Asia, less in LATAM Computer Games are a culture phenomena and considerable draw CS enrollments are improving but gender lags. Media (Games and Film) is entering a new age Democratization of new media comparable to Printing Press Net, Storage and accessible development tools Immersive and emergent experiences - addictive Online opportunities – XBOX Arcade, IPhone App Games can address social concerns: G4LI will!
