Physics is Still Your Friend: World of Goo @ 10
No full textIn the spring of 2005, an experimental game was prototyped in seven days. This little experiment was Tower of Goo, and it was the seed that led to the development of the independent video game, World of Goo, which was released in the fall of 2008. Shortly thereafter, Drew Davidson wrote a piece on the game that was published in 2009 as part of the book, Well Played 1.0.
In this piece, Davidson engaged in a close in-depth reading of World of Goo to help parse out the various meanings he found in my experience with the game. And now, ten years later, he wanted to take another look at the game and see how well its gameplay experience holds up.</div

Creating quality cross-media experiences
No full textThere are many ways to create a cross-media project, but there are approaches which facilitate a quality implementation. The crucial starting point with any creative project is a great story or game. However, because the cross-media artform is still emerging and many practitioners are new to the area, just how to produce a quality cross-media project is not well known. Based on my work on both small- and large-scale projects, I outline ten approaches that will aid in facilitating a quality cross-media project
Drew Lopenzina, 40th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textDrew Lopenzina hails from the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts and teaches Early American and Native American literatures at Old Dominion University in Norfolk. His second book, Through an Indian\u27s Looking Glass (University of Massachusetts Press), is a cultural biography of the Pequot writer, activist and minister William Apess, the first Native American to write and publish his own book length treatises and memoirs in the 1820\u27s and 30\u27s. Praise by Barry O\u27Connell states that Lopenzina brings Apess nearly fully to life, which no one else, among many scholars, has. I know of no better reader of Apess\u27s own writing. Lopenzina is also the author of Red Ink: Native Americans Picking up the Pen in the Colonial Period. His essays appear in the journals American Literature, American Quarterly, Studies in American Indian Literature, Native American and Indigenous Studies and others
Quality Enhancement Themes: the First Year Experience. Curriculum Design for the First Year
No full textThis report outlines the work and outcomes of a practice-focused development project 'Curriculum design for the first year'. The project was one of nine funded by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) under the First-Year Experience Enhancement Theme of the Scottish quality enhancement agenda. The stages of this curriculum design project included: completing a literature review;
running staff workshops to gather and disseminate information; holding student focus groups to gather students, views and experiences of the curriculum; collecting case studies of interest to the sector; and reporting findings to the sector. Key findings from the literature are presented in this report. They include the need to adopt student-centred active learning strategies (Harvey, Drew and Smith, 2006; Oliver-Hoyo and Allen, 2005; Barefoot, 2002) and the importance of providing early
formative feedback to students (Davidson and Young, 2005; Barefoot, 2002). Many suggestions for improving learning and teaching strategies have been adopted at module level, but could be implemented strategically across the breadth of a programme curriculum. Kift and Nelson (2005) supported this view and argued that it is equally important to support these principles with systemic university-wide change, including administrative and support programmes that are also integrated with the curriculum and student needs

Dacus (Neodacus) perpusillus Drew 1971
No full textDacus (Neodacus) perpusillus Drew, 1971, restored combination Figure 91 Distribution. New Caledonia (mainland, Maré, Lifou). Male lure. Cue-lure. Host plants. No known host. Biology. Monthly trapping data illustrated on Figure 135. Notes. This species was originally described as Dacus (Asiadacus) perpusillus Drew, 1971 and later reassigned as Bactrocera (Sinodacus) perpusilla (Drew) by Drew (1989). More recently, it was transferred to genus Zeugodacus, as Z. (Sinodacus) perpusillus (Drew) (DeMeyer et al. 2015; Doorenweerd et al. 2018) or treated as Bactrocera (Parasinodacus) perpusilla (Drew) by Hancock and Drew (2017b). A close morphological examination of fresh specimens collected by the author in New Caledonia in 2019 clearly shows that this species belongs to genus Dacus and subgenus Neodacus, as defined by Drew and Romig (2013, 2022), further confirmed by genetic data (Doorenweerd et al. 2020). I am therefore reassigning this species as Dacus (Neodacus) perpusillus Drew.Published as part of Leblanc, Luc, 2022, The dacine fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae: Dacini) of Oceania, pp. 1-167 in Insecta Mundi 2022 (948) on page 150, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.730086
