2018 EDU: Edutopia 1 and 2: Places for practicing English as a second language

Places for practicing 
English as a second language

Places designed for practicing English as a second language. Games based on English phrases, many places common to the English-speaking world.  Places where people can go to practice English relevant to the location. 

The big game 

• Edutopia on Kitely Market
• Educational games in virtual worlds. Educator's business model: "Educator's paradise"
• Situated learning

 Our goal is to immerse students into English by posing problems and mysteries for them to solve using English.  NPCs with AI programming are spread randomly around to provide interesting interactions even when students are exploring on their own.
