Game as evaluation in health education

The first project I was thinking about for this class was a digital production for malaria education. This project isn't totally dead as I am helping one of the health departments at UF by creating a poster to educate people in Haiti about Malaria and to obtain their consent with IRB signing.

While looking for references to support my work I came across an article that was reporting on health education assessment through games. What was impressive were that children (in elementary schools) were able to create a game on dengue (game mechanics and rules) in about 30 minutes.

Please consult the article on this report by the WHO : (pp220-227)

It takes sometimes to download but it was worth waiting.

What a lesson in unrestrained creativity and focus. Everyone in this class should read this paper. Granted, the child has a great advantage...he is a child!
