The games follow on from the success of the award winning Campus Quest game and have been designed to engage with equity target groups in the outreach space.<\/p>\n
Deputy Vice-Chancellor Academic Professor Jill Downie said the games were an excellent opportunity to give people an insight into career development and online studies.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an innovative way to connect with prospective students, including those in regional or remote areas, who may not believe that university is relevant to them or a viable option for them to consider,\u201d Professor Downie said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe games are a part of Curtin\u2019s approach to digital learning, which includes giving students the flexibility to access richly interactive learning materials from anywhere, at any time and on any device.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first game, Future Quest, explores different career directions and gives players an insight into options for the future, while E-Study Quest arms players with information about life as an online university student in a fun and engaging way.<\/p>\n
They are set on a virtual community map featuring local businesses and services, where players must use the in-game resources to complete challenges, interact with other characters, unlock mini-games and gain links to real-life information.<\/p>\n
The games are suitable for people of any age interested in studying online or exploring potential career options and pathways, including adult learners and high school students in years 7-12.<\/p>\n
They are free to play and can be accessed via a web browser or downloaded as an app for your phone by both students and the general public.<\/p>\n
Curtin AHEAD, supported by the Australian Government Department of Education, is a collaborative and innovative higher education outreach program that grows the potential of groups and individuals that are under-represented in higher education.<\/p>\n
