"The Globally Competent Student Sandra L. Russo and Leigh Ann Osborne What characteristics would a globally competent student possess? What does this student know upon graduation day that a student wi thout this sort of education does not? For some students, all or most of these characteristics are ones that s/he will find ways to develop even if the resources are lacking. For others, they must be convinced of the need to develop global competence. It is the charge of the administrators who decide, th e faculty who teach, the legislators who fund, and the potential employers [private se ctor leaders] who motivate, to leave no doubts in the student's mind about the importance of becoming a globa lly competent student. Our objective, as NASULGC institutions, is to de velop globally competent undergr aduate and graduate students who will become globally competent citizens. "

The Original online adventure games were text adventure games in which you were faced with puzzles and obstacles to overcome to complete your quest. They existed only on large corporate or academic mainframe computers in the 1970s. In the early 1980s these intriguing games became available to a much wider audience as classic adventures such as 'The Hobbit' fuelled sales of the first home computers such as the Commodore 64 and the Sinclair Spectrum. Since then online adventure games have evolved into multiuser games (generically known as MUDS) and are infinitely more challenging than the original adventure game designers could ever have dreamed. Many players share the same environment and adventure alongside you or compete against you as the whim takes them. The linear nature of the old adventure games has now mostly disappeared and the best of the new generation of online text adventure games are multi-dimensional in their game play and may be better described, perhaps, as interactive novels - often without end. A few highly commercial multiuser graphical adventures games are also now available, but they tend to lack depth and none are yet rated here.

"Reggio Emilia's approach does challenge some conceptions of teacher competence and developmentally appropriate practice. For example, teachers in Reggio Emilia assert the importance of being confused as a contributor to learning; thus a major teaching strategy is purposely to allow mistakes to happen, or to begin a project with no clear sense of where it might end."
