Tim Wang's eLearning Blog

Guess I was a little bored this afternoon and decided to give it a try to the Chinese game platform I found last night. I have to say I am impressed by the high quality media (sound, graphics and animation) components in the game. The entire game is done in Flash with dynamic data transfer. I can totaly see an 8 years old kid being amused by the interactive cartoon figure - "xiao tian tian" (the little girl on the screen capture). Three minutes into the game, it polled me on how do I learn new knowledge: A) Reading B)Browsing Internet C)Watching TV D)Ask Parents/Teacher. It then showed me what other kids have chosen, and realizing only 19% of them browse internet. Of course I don't know how many players have being polled, but this is a very interesting concept on collecting first hand data from the varies of group of learners out there. I then learned why people "flush" (how blood flow turn people's face red etc.), and answered an easy question, then got my 5 award cards! Yay! A few more minutes I am gonna be hooked to the platform... The game is free, but it does indicate that you may "upgrade" (buy their printed books) in order to get more "power cards" for credits... Anyway, great product! Gonna browse a bit more...
