Let me know what you think.

Svetoslav Zabunov Fascating programme. Most useful for physics or engnieering applications. I liked the distinction between fixed and pendulum simulations.

How is dev on the http://www.ialms.net/calcp/ going?

Any updates on your 'Bistable Relay Computer 44 (BRC44) since Digital Computer Realized by Means of Bistable RelaysPatent Nov 2017?

Thanks, John,

It is going somehow, but here in Bulgaria we have no funds for science, so it is going slowly :-)

The BRC44 is 80% ready as a prototype, will be an astonishing machine. Yet, there is no time to make it finished, sadly.

Is it based on quantum computing models? Is it a matter of man-power to see it finished? I would like to see more recent projections if possible?

No, it is not quantum based. It is based on mechanical relays, just like the first working programmable digital computer created in 1941 by Konrad Zuse in Germany -- Z3.

As a fan of computing history - My local city Manchester still houses the BABY and Ferranti_Mark_1 (1951). On a personal level, I would enjoy research into fusion and quantum computing ideally linking with AI-Neural interfaces.

Very interesting set of works being discussed and shared in the thread. I'm currently funded with a colleage at FIU to develop a simulation/video game for early career teachers - https://gsapp.rutgers.edu/research/technology-focused/IVT-T

To Reinaldo Requeiro - Thanks for highlighting the open source Health, Public Administration, Education, Enterprise-Industry and Telematics program at University of Informatics Sciences. Havana, Cuba

To Elisa Shernoff - How is the program progressing with the Sim/games engagement for teachers? I did a PhD Project on a similar line to engage students with citizenship engagement through games and simulation.

Probably you are familiar with the gamification field.

https://www.coursera.org/learn/gamification

https://www.gamified.uk/

@Enrique Bores I am with my focus on educational and social change games. But always willing to discuss new ideas or approaches for games as learning.

Your dissertation project sounds fascinating, my project is a simulation in order to help new teachers hone their classroom management skills, which in turn should enhance student engagement.

Elisa S. Shernoff As does yours Elisa, the website returnlearn.com highlights the games which were useful in the doctoral online -> offline transferrable learning in the community (Citizenship) leading to lasting social impacts. As a teacher, I've often argued for more flexibility in distance learning (e.g. Open university) which will enhance and encourage engagement through locus of control.

I would like to learn more if you could provide a link?

John Horsfield Even though gamification comes from the field of business, I have found valuable insights to apply in my teaching, such as the psychological mechanism of engagement used in games (autonomy, mastery, relation, etc.) and the distinction between gamification and serious play. There are now some people translating the techniques to learning. I have a paper about that but unfortunately it is in Spanish. Regarding games for social change, I learned from Marzevsky about the "Darfur is Dying". I hope these comments are helpful and give you complementary perspective.

Enrique Bores I would be interested in learning those techniques especially in their potential to cross discipline learning.

I will look into Marzevsky thank you.

Most helpful indeed.

@Enrique Bores I forgot to mention that I worked in Amusement arcades with video games since the early 80s and found it to be a fascinating crossover between the potential of learning through gamification and the business model. Its highlighted in my papers on games as learning..

Look at my presentations! 2007 year

Anyone interested in my pixel version (Just finished)

@Slavoljub Hilčenko - Glad you enjoyed, I've done a number of articles, ebooks and games on the theme of games as learning and exploring the arcade industry which I started my game development in.

My dear friend John Horsfield, work: Education software for students and teachers in the first four grades of primary school, it was not my thesis.

It was my project '' From Game to Computer '' that I worked for 7 years.

I also made a 3 cartoons that are used for learning. I'm glad for the kind words.

I wish you much success in your work

Slavoljub

Dear Slavoljub Hilčenko, 7 years of work on that project "Game to Computer". Did you publish the cartoons online aswell?

Thank you for the support and kind words also

John
