The City Learning Centre is one of a limited number of institutions around the UK who have been given the opportunity by Immersive Education to test drive MissionMaker, Immersive’s forthcoming game-creation software. MissionMaker puts the creation of 3D computer games within reach of educators and students. Sophisticated puzzles and challenges can be devised and linked together within fantastic interactive environments. Games can feature characters who deliver information to the player via text-to-speech technology or speech recorded by the game creator themself. Video and imagery can be integrated into games. The only real limit is the imagination of the game creator.
Educational theorists have argued on whether playing educational games can improve learning in our students. Immersive Education believe that asking children to create games provides a meaningful and engaging educational challenge.

The City Learning Centre will be offering opportunities to Wolverhampton students based around MissionMaker in the near future.
