Posted by Elena on janvier 21, 2010 at 10:37 .

Tabula digita est une société de production de jeux vidéo complètement focalisée sur les jeux éducatifs (il n’y en a pas beaucoup): jeux ayant un but d’apprentissage ‘curriculaire’ (dans ce cas, l’algèbre) et l’aspect d’un jeu vidéo traditionnel, avec action, adventure et immersion 3D dans une histoire qui met en scène des personnages et une série de défis à résoudre grâce à l’aide des mathématiques.

Les développeurs présentent leurs jeux comme pouvant constituer un outil d’apprentissage en autonomie, aussi bien qu’un outil d’appui pour l’enseignement scolaire.

“Tabula Digita is an educational gaming company focused on delivering innovative and effective educational games to students and institutions. The games have all of the action adventure fun associated with mainstream games while simultaneously providing an efficient learning environment to better prepare students for high stakes exams. Tabula Digita’s games can be used as stand alone teaching programs or they can be used to support and enhance conventional teaching methods and materials. Tabula Digita’s experiential learning systems are embedded in a stunning first person, action adventure video game format.”
