Hi

For the second semester of multimedia we were asked to set out our vision for the group project. So, instead of writing a long novel. I'll get straight to the point.

For our group project we would like to create a "game" that's mainly targeted at young kids, primarily between the ages of 4-6. Note that I put the "game" in quotation marks because it's not your typical video game but more of an interactive learning tool.

This interactive learning tool would act as a fun substitute for learning different subjects like English, Maths, Irish, Art etc. The best comparison to this learning tool is something like Duelingo (but, simpler). Duelingo is an app that you can download on your phone, that lets you learn different languages from Spanish, to French and so on.

To get this idea on the road, we were thinking of placing 2 people on each subject, and because this is an educational / learning tool those 2 people would come up and design the content that each subject requires. For example, if we were to take English, the team would look at different content that could be put in this subject. In this case, content like grammar.
Following this, when all the content is made and ready we would being the behind the scenes work on making the game work properly.

Some of the resources we could use include
zebrazapps
e-learning
h5p.org

Personally, I think this would be an interesting and very much so relevant project to be a part of and work on. Technology is a crazy fast industry and today's society we depend on it more and more. It's not an odd sight to see a 4 year old with a iPhone or iPad. So, this tool could help them learn more in an environment that they're already familiar with.... an iPad.
