		<title>Designing Games for Health</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this session, three different paper authors shared an overview of their work. Debra Lieberman conducted research on video games designed specifically to help kids manage asthma (Bronkie) and diabetes (Packy and Marlon). The research used an experimental design with clinical trials and found that children&#8217;s visits to the emergency room to treat these problems [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kimeke.wordpress.com&blog=717924&post=25&subd=kimeke&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The World of Goo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Wow! How fun does this game look? Made by two former students (see 2D Boy) in Carnegie Mellon&#8217;s Entertainment Center &#8212; on a shoestring budget with smart marketing.  I&#8217;ll buy it!
Drew Davidson, the Director of the ETC walked us through parts of this game showing us how the attention to detail in this physics puzzle [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kimeke.wordpress.com&blog=717924&post=20&subd=kimeke&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Meaningful Play Conference @ MSU</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Meaningful Play conference began with a great keynote by Richard Hilleman, the Chief Creative Officer of EA. There were several take-aways for those of us who don&#8217;t have to turn a profit but do have significant challenges in staffing and development, moving educational content from experts to interactive experiences for learners, and for general [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kimeke.wordpress.com&blog=717924&post=18&subd=kimeke&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Research on Web Analytics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really like Avinash Kaushik&#8217;s Web Analytics: An Hour a Day! (His blog is Occam&#8217;s Razor)
In thinking about ways that we can evaluate the effectiveness of learning via our multimedia course redesigns, the following comes to mind:

Web analytics is an excellent way to unobtrusively learn more about our students&#8217; learning that is particularly suited to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kimeke.wordpress.com&blog=717924&post=15&subd=kimeke&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Riding the clickstream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a treat to be able to exchange information and ideas related to&#8230;data! Others we met are engaged in similar efforts. Most notably, a team is working on CANSAWARE to track, mine, and present data from Sakai.
The clickstream is one &#60;easy&#62; way to implement an imperfect method of assessment that aligns with the technology used [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kimeke.wordpress.com&blog=717924&post=14&subd=kimeke&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Caveats:

Students log in to the module outside normal class time with their unique ID

		<title>Made to Stick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I finished Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die. I loved it!  For me, it reinforced how difficult it is for all of us to communicate clearly. And further, how clear and simple communication can be achieved, but in order to do so, one must really step out of self [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kimeke.wordpress.com&blog=717924&post=7&subd=kimeke&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
