Stories in PC and console games are nothing new, but handheld and mobile gaming platforms are more likely to test your reflexes than your emotional intelligence. Adrian Hon examines how we might bring extended stories to these new platforms, who will make these games and how they will be funded, while exploring how player-generated stories can gain wider appeal on the new gaming platforms of today and tomorrow.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
Scholastic survey of 2000 children in the US from age 6 to 17;
Expensive to produce, works with biggest properties
Interactive; really got to get the costs down though
Told online and via series of books and cards; online/offline game, with apps. Very transmedia.
So far, three books; evidence pack with photos, notes, napkins with writing on. Websites, phone numbers, etc; and now converted to iPhone and iPod Touch, for ridiculously low price of 99 cents.
Similar, but obviously slightly older audience. First book out now; eight books in total, including writing from fans. Slightly confusing mix of blogs and questions; e.g. what was in her locker, but seems to go down well with readers.
Combining a whole load of interesting ideas into one. Weekly serial historial/fantasy novel for adults; completely digital distribution, with mobile and iPad apps; subscription plans ($6 for 6 months, $10 for a year, renewing). Finally, users can influence and write story and world themselves. Works because these guys are well known and have no costs. But perfect for genre authors.
Back to earth. Hear more about this in about an hour, but collaboration between Stardoll and Random House. Serialised story over 8 weeks where readers can influence story through voting, take part in writing competitions, and of course, buy virtual goods related to the story.
Again, hearing more from these guys - working with Penguin to publish series of books based on the game, with code letting people unlock secret moshling in the game. Similar thing happened with Club Penguin.
Episodic videogames for variety of IP. Same engine, got a very good process for creating regular installments with good development tools - essential for this kind of episodic gaming. Works across range of platforms.
PS3 game, really phenomenal artwork and animation; pretty conventional serial killer story, but still makes it better than most games. Projected to sell about 2 million, not bad for new IP and new game style - means that we’ll be seeing more. Compared to a movie.
BioWare responsible for some of most successful console games of last decade; always heavily story based sci-fi or fantasy role playing game. SW:TOR is interesting because it’s their first MMO - so this could rival or even beat World of Warcraft by means of the strong episodic story they create.
Live transmedia experience integrated with TV show, online and across Twitter and Facebook. Gained almost 200,000 fans over run of the show; season 2 coming out soon.
Also making our own IP online and on mobile.
In no particular order; 66% of kids still want to read books on paper
Worth saying that iPhone is not going away any time soon, no matter what people say about Android. These guys understand what consumers want, even if they are a pain for all of us to work with.
Publishers have these strengths
New set of skills required for these products, and need to work out relationship with developers. In-house? Use 3rd party tools (which don’t exist yet?) Contract developers? Work with them like with authors? Really need to get away from just selling single books as well.
