Go Fish
Can a first person shooter engine be transformed into a non-violent educational game? From a developer's perspective, what are the primary differences between playing and learning? These are questions Steve Guynup addressed in his project, Go Fish.

As more and more health information becomes available to people online, the more we need to step back and question whether or not this information is truly available. In an effort to understand how we can improve the presentation of online material to be the most effective, Angela Colter studied the the search behavior of low-literacy individuals.
Alph
Reading has long been known to be a highly sociable activity, although often practiced in silence or solitude. But what if the book itself could harbour communication between readers? What if the book revealed not only the story within but also the readers who are often left out? These are but some of the questions Yoram Chisik explores in his Alph project.
