Games: Purpose and Potential in Education

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781441935335

The field of Games is rapidly expanding, prompting institutions throughout the world to create game development programs and courses focusing on educational games. As a result, games have also become a hot topic in the area of educational technology research. This increased interest is due to the technological advancement of digital games and the fact that a new, digital generation is emerging with a strong gaming background.

Games: Purpose and Potential in Education focuses on the issues of incorporating games into education and instructional design. Ideas of identity development, gender diversity, motivation, and integrating instructional design within game development are addressed since each of these areas is important in the field of instructional design and can have a significant impact on learning.

This volume brings together leading experts, researchers, and instructors in the field of gaming and explores current topics in gaming and simulations, available resources, and the future of the field.

Handbook of Magnetic Materials: Volume 18
Volume 18 of the <i>Handbook of Magnetic Materials</i>, as the preceding volumes, has a dual purpose. As a textbook it is intended to help those who wish to be introduced to a given topic in the field of magnetism without the need to read the vast amount of literature published. As a work of reference it is intended for scientists active in magnetism research. To this dual purpose, Volume 18 is composed of topical review articles written by leading authorities. In each of these articles an extensive description is given in graphical as well as in tabular form, much emphasis being placed on the discussion of the experimental material in the framework of physics, chemistry and material science. It provides readers with novel trends and achievements in magnetism.

Magnetic Nano- And Microwires: Design, Synthesis, Properties and Applications
<p>Magnetic nanowires and microwires are key tools in the development of<br>enhanced devices for information technology (memory and data processing) and<br>sensing. Offering the combined characteristics of high density, high speed, and<br>non-volatility, they facilitate reliable control of the motion of magnetic domain<br>walls&#x3b; a key requirement for the development of novel classes of logic and storage<br>devices.</p> <p>Part One introduces the design and synthesis of magnetic nanowires and<br>microwires, reviewing the growth and processing of nanowires and nanowire<br>heterostructures using such methods as sol-gel and electrodeposition<br>combinations, focused-electron/ion-beam-induced deposition, chemical<br>vapour transport, quenching and drawing and magnetic interactions. Magnetic<br>and transport properties, alongside domain walls, in nano- and microwires<br>are then explored in Part Two, before Part Three goes on to explore a wide<br>range of applications for magnetic nano- and microwire devices, including<br>memory, microwave and electrochemical applications, in addition to thermal<br>spin polarization and configuration, magnetocalorific effects and Bloch point<br>dynamics.</p>
