ARGuing is a cutting-edge project that addresses two fundamental needs in Europeaneducation in a totally innovative manner. Firstly, how to bridge the wideningtechnological gap between educators and their students and secondly, how to motivatestudents to understand the benefits of learning languages at a level that impacts on theirexisting personal lives.This project will answer these important needs by building a methodology for educatorsthat includes Web 2.0 technology, i.e. using digital technology to create content andcommunicate. Secondly, the project will construct a special type of puzzle game calledan Alternate Reality Game (ARG) that utilises digital technology as a communicationtool for international, multilingual, peer student communities that have to solve thepuzzle by working as a massively, multiplayer, collaborative group, in multiplelanguages.The project includes a very diverse mix of specialists, as only a combination of skills canachieve the innovation envisaged. Included in the partnership is one of the largestuniversity computing departments in the UK with expertise in games development andgames-based learning, language pedagogic expertise, University teacher trainers, anexpert in Alternate Reality Games (ARG) and an Internet communication specialist. Ourresearch indicates that this project will be the 1st globally to apply an ARG at secondaryschool level; to create an ARG that embeds multilingualism within its core framework; touse the techniques and technology, as utilised within an ARG, to build a replicableeducational methodology; to motivate language learning by placing language at the coreof a game that appeals to and engages young students at a personal level.In D4 below, an ARG is described in depth, but it is important to understand here, thatan ARG is not a computer game that is played solely in front of a computer screen by anindividual, but is a collaborative puzzle that can include online and offline elements andcan only be solved by multiple players working in groups. The participants are not incompetition to solve the puzzle.
