Global management challenge

The Global Management Challenge is a student game. Over 350,000 university students and junior managers have played the world’s largest strategic management competition since its inception in 1980. This year, 19,000 students will play the GMC in 25 countries.
Student teams signing up for the GMC will be assigned to a real world company. Companies cover their teams' registration fees, so students do not have to pay themselves in order to participate. Additionally, companies may choose to mentor their players in business strategy and game tactics.
In October 2007, the competition will begin and each student team will be given the management of a virtual company. The teams then develop this virtual company by making a series of decisions relating to every aspect of the business.
Their decisions are run through sophisticated business simulation software, which generates in-depth management reports. The aim is to finish the game with the highest price on the virtual stock exchange.

The jigsaw classroom

The jigsaw classroom is a cooperative learning technique with a three-decade track record of successfully reducing racial conflict and increasing positive educational outcomes. Just as in a jigsaw puzzle, each piece--each student's part--is essential for the completion and full understanding of the final product. If each student's part is essential, then each student is essential; and that is precisely what makes this strategy so effective.

Reputation Research Network

The Reputation Research Network is about research on reputation systems. A reputation system gives people information about others' past performance. It can enhance an on-line interaction environment by:
helping people decide who to trust;
encouraging people to be more trustworthy;
discouraging those who are not trustworthy from participating.

This site is for researchers who are studying how reputation systems should work in theory, how they actually work in practice, and how they could work better. You can find out about people, papers, and practical systems. And you can contribute pointers to useful information.

Spritivity: The spaces in between

Spritivity is a workshop developed by Zenzone Media Lab of the China Culture Administration Society in Beijing, China. It originated in a project linking Chinese and Japanese Schools It is now being developed, as a joint effort with the London Multimedia Lab for Audio-visual Composition and Communication at LSE, to offer communication between students in primary schools in China and England, working together to explain, share and explore how they understand and can animate their environments they inhabit. Spritivity, as a communication medium, relies on developing a picture language for making and exchanging stories, where the key characters are sprites extracted by the students themselves from photographs which they take of those specific parts of the environment which interests each of them.
