No full textIan Colvin and Lisa Hay present the 'University of Cambridge School Classics' Project which has been developed to support school-level teaching. From humble beginnings like simple vocabulary testers, the program has since evolved to a large range of resources including schemes of work for civilisation topics, documentaries on aspects of ancient life, and support for reading authentic literature.

Refinement of higher-order logic programs
No full textThe original publication is available at www.springerlink.comA refinement calculus provides a method for transforming specifications to executable code, maintaining the correctness of the code with respect to its specification. In this paper we extend the refinement calculus for logic programs to include higher-order programming capabilities in specifications and programs, such as procedures as terms and lambda abstraction. We use a higher-order type and term system to describe programs, and provide a semantics for the higher-order language and refinement. The calculus is illustrated by refinement examples.Robert Colvin, Ian Hayes, David Hemer and Paul Stroope

Ian Bogost at X-Media Lab: serious gaming

In this talk at the X Media Lab in Sydney, video game theorist and designer Ian Bogost gives an overview of how video games can benefit human existence.
Ian Bogost is author of "Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism", recently listed among "50 books for everyone in the game industry".
