    This is a good starting point to share with faculty and IDs who are looking for ways to assess assignments in new media. It should only be a starting point though. Not every blog/twitter/multimedia assignment is created equally.

Portal 2 Authoring Tools for schools: Newell explains | Joystiq - 0 views

  • turning the game into a more direct learning experience, with custom tools to match educational programs. "We just add another layer on top of the authoring tools to simplify the production of those spaces," Valve head Gabe Newell explained to us this afternoon.
  • the level creation tool for the PC version of Portal 2 gets another layer of interaction on top of the placement of, say, platforms or boxes. "If you give us a lesson plan, we can give you a tool that allows kids to build content to lock down those lessons,"
  • "The layering on top of it of the framework for giving people a direct physical experience of physics is there, but you have to tell me exactly how you want to measure whether or not your students are successful or not."

    This is crazy...one of the top developers (Valve) building an 'educational layer' on top of Portal 2's authoring environment specifically for education, likely physics education. Even crazier...Gabe wants the implementation ASSESSED! We already have a great relationship with Valve, being an early adopter of SourceU that runs our Steam installs. Anyone know science/physics profs we can approach for this? I plan on sifting through the Institute's database to see if we have any contacts that might want to play in this space.
