From Story-Telling to Educational Gaming: The Bamiyan Valley Case
| Year | 2008 |
|---|
Preserving the knowledge of previous generations and passing it to new generations is challenging. This process is usually based on an educational system or in any other kind of face-to-face tradition. However, developing countries usually face a lack of well educated people so that this process is hindered. This is even more problematic for countries having recently struggled through times of war. Hence, we apply a community-centered approach to capturing expert knowledge in non-linear digital stories and repurposing it in the shape of educational games. In particular, we support the vocational training of local employees within a cultural heritage community that aims at preserving Bamiyan Valley in Afghanistan.
