    The pilot follows work undertaken by JISC Collections early in 2012, when a number of interactive educational software and games suppliers, as well as representatives of FE colleges, were interviewed to gauge the current extent and use of such software and online resources by the colleges.

  • A Pakistani security official speaking on the condition of anonymity told Fox News that these games are part of psychological warfare. He said, “These games are an effort to malign the minds of youth against Pakistan.” The security official views these games as American attempts to prepare the minds of Pakistanis to accept reports of Pakistan as a failed state, a place that is harboring terrorists, to justify any future action where youth would accept the killing of Pakistanis.

    Should colleges create simulation games as iOS apps, if this kind of blockage can happen?

    Well there's always Android - I really like my Nexus 7 a lot; take it everywhere. And I've found downloading bits directly from the web for Android to be not too bothersome (the Humble Bundle folks have a workable system going).
  • Bryan Alexander on 10 Jan 13
     
    Is the Play store more open?
  • Brett Boessen on 10 Jan 13
     
    I thought it was, though I can't find any particular article attesting to that fact (maybe the respective Wikipedia pages would give a clue). But I also thought that it was not possible to install an app on an iOS device without a jailbroken phone - on Android if you have the .pks or whatever-type file on the web somewhere, you can install it, even on the standard version of Android.

    Sounds like a potential Play/Android advantage. Then there's the Web.
  • Brett Boessen on 11 Jan 13
     
    Yes, and especially since tablets are becoming more common, tools formatted for the web don't have to be squished onto a smartphone screen as much as they once might have been.
  • Bryan Alexander on 14 Jan 13
     
    Good point. Perhaps we'll see phones hew to apps, and tablets cleave to the Web.
