Student-developed, learner-centric games and exercises

These interactive Flash exercises, based upon the content of the Study Guides Web site, were created by students of Drs. Brad Hokanson and Louise Lystig Fritchie in an interactive design course at the University of Minnesota School of Design. They are based upon the Study Guides and Strategies Website, and edited to reflect by myself Joe Landsberger and Steve Kladstrup, an Independent Flash developer/consultant.  Where translations are available, they follow the topics. If you have interactive exercises or learning objects you wish to add for students, you are welcome to do so! Send inquiry
