Game teaches journalism students skills
March 9, 2006 /
To teach fact-finding skills, professors at the University of Minnesota have turned the fantasy computer game Neverwinter Nights http://nwn.bioware.com/ into a tool for journalism students. Instead of slaying monsters and gathering gold, the players tackle sources and gather information.
"When we initially did the game, it still had lava pits, the editor looked like an ogre — stuff like that. The librarian had breastplates," said Nora Paul, director of the university’s Institute for New Media Studies.
