Zon: online game to teach Chinese culture, language
As the Olympics approach and China becomes even more dominant in the
news, a Michigan State University professor has created an online
video game that teaches Chinese culture and language.
Called Zon/New Chengo, (http://enterzon. com/), the multiplayer Web-
based role-playing game was created by Yong Zhao, MSU distinguished
professor of educational psychology and technology. A native of a
poor, remote area of the Sichuan Province, he has become a highly
influential researcher in Chinese education, bringing in more than
$20 million in research to the university.
"Games are supposed to be fun and educational, " said Zhao."This game
offers a vicarious, virtual experience of China."
