Abstract

This work in progress project presents a computer game development approach to enhance history learning for middle school and high school students. This project seeks to create an innovative software package that will serve as a model for democracy education in Tennessee and the United States. Through the collaboration of professors of computer science and history, historical content from Middle Tennessee State University's Gore Center will be digitized and manipulated to create an interactive, group-oriented, computer-based simulation of how democracy works. In the first phase of this project we are designing a computer game that allows students to learn about the history of the Civil Rights Bill through the decisions that Senator Gore Sr. made. Senator Gore Sr. was a Tennessee Senator during the time of the Civil Rights Bill. We also present our experiences in using this real world project as a basis for the semester long team project development for undergraduate and graduate software engineering class.
数字民主:在软件工程课程中创建在线民主教育模拟
这个正在进行中的项目提出了一种电脑游戏开发方法来提高初高中学生的历史学习。该项目旨在创建一个创新的软件包,作为田纳西州和美国民主教育的典范。通过计算机科学和历史教授的合作,来自中田纳西州立大学戈尔中心的历史内容将被数字化和处理,以创建一个互动的、以群体为导向的、基于计算机的民主运作模拟。在这个项目的第一阶段,我们正在设计一个电脑游戏,让学生们通过老戈尔参议员所做的决定来了解民权法案的历史。在民权法案时期,老戈尔参议员是田纳西州的参议员。我们也展示了我们使用这个真实世界项目的经验,作为本科和研究生软件工程课程长达一学期的团队项目开发的基础。
