ATLT Games, creator of the math
educational Serious Game Pi and The
Lost Function, has started a Kickstarter
campaign to add voice acting to its currently text-based storyline to help
learners with special needs. The campaign began on July 29 and ends on August
27.
Pi and The Lost Function is a 3-D algebra readiness adventure game that intervenes when it
detects students are struggling with specific math skills. Currently, the
storyline is text-based, and ATLT Games would like to add voice acting to the
3-D characters to assist learners with disabilities.
The
addition of voice over will help students with vision impairments,
emotional/behavior disorders, dyslexia, autism, ADD/ADHD, struggling readers,
and English as a second language (ESL/ELL).
Pi and The
Lost Function™ improves student engagement
in mathematics through a3D adventure quest style video game. The game includes
an embedded Intelligent Tutoring Agent (ITA) to monitor student performance and
initiate interventions upon detection of a deficiency. The ITA presents the
student with guided practice problems, videos and narratives accessible in the
game via a “pop-up” virtual learning tablet. As students play the game their
performance data is securely uploaded and stored to allow teachers to monitor
individual and class performance using a Teacher Portal web application.
The game’s
intriguing storyline is written by Lee Sheldon (writer for Star Trek: The Next
Generation, Charlie’s Angels, and Cagney and Lacey) and two-time Telly Award
winner and Emmy winner, Graham Sheldon.
