ALLS presents to Miriam College High School

Posted on August 1, 2012 by admin

In the hopes of encouraging more young people to study computer science, Ma. Mercedes T. Rodrigo and Tricia Monsod (CS ’12) made a presentation about affective computing to one class of Miriam College High School students. Dr. Rodrigo began the presentation with an overview of affective computing and the types of research conducted by the Ateneo Laboratory of the Learning Sciences.  The highlight of the talk, though, was Ms. Monsod’s presentation of Jason King Li’s (CS ’12) and her thesis, School of Thought, an affect-sensitive game.  Mr. Resty Collado of Miriam as well as two students tried the game, to their delight. ALLS and DISCS are scheduled to conduct more of these talks in other high schools around the country.

Hi! I’m currently in my senior year taking up BS Computer Science specializing in Interactive Multimedia. There are a lot of interesting topics out there, but for now, I’m interested in Games Design and Development. I’m also interested in learning new ideas whether it be in philosophy, religion, or any other field.

Designing an Alternate Reality Game Within the Ateneo Community as a Medium for Tangential Learning

Posted on July 5, 2012 by admin

Thesis Abstract: Alternate reality games are commonly used for promotional purposes despite having great potential for encouraging collaboration. Some educational alternate reality games have been created to take advantage of the pedagogical benefits that alternate reality games provide. The aim of this thesis is to design an alternate reality game for play within the Ateneo community and test its effectiveness within the said community. Another objective this thesis aims to accomplish is to determine the elements of an alternate reality game that would make it immersive and enjoyable for its players. A website will be created to serve as the entry point to the game, whose existence would be made known to some Atenean college students. This website will serve as one method of delivering the game’s puzzles, which require the players to provide passwords to progress with the game and obtain a new piece of the narrative. The answers to the game can be located at the Loyola Schools area and would require transliteration and decoding of writing systems such as Morse code and Braille.
