This multimedia supported pervasive game was created by five secondary school pupils of the Sint-Lievenscollege Ghent (Belgium) around the theme of bullying and racketeering to sensitise students against useless violence. Students participating in this 50-minute lifesize game had to search a fictitious murderer in their school through clues provided in mp3-files and video clips. The five girls who created this game, set up a campaign to attract their fellow pupils to participate in the lifesize Cluedo game with flyers and a website. The story was that a boy in school who had bullied one of his classmates, was found dead at his school. There were four suspects, so fellow students had to find the actual killer. The creators had created video clues but separated audiotracks and videotracks so participants needed to download mp3 files in advance and once the game began at school, they could find the accompanying videos at different locations in the school and then link sound with video. In the Dutch project website the mp3 tracks could be first downloaded (http://anti-anti.slc-gent.be - with frames - watch in Internet Explorer). The English project website shows the different videos and a segment about the game of the local news. All videos are Dutch. This project won the MEDEA Special Jury Award 2008 and so an (English) interview the pupils' teacher was recorded as part of the project's showcase: http://medea-awards.com/anti-anti. In the interview, he explains that the students used their own material as the school didn't have video or audiomaterial at the time.

Inaugurated in June 1999, the Schools Video Awards (SVA) started with the aim of providing a platform for our students to express themselves creatively through the use of video. A category for teachers was introduced from the 7th SVA. This recognises teachers? efforts in producing useful teaching resources, as well as encourages the use of video to support teaching and learning. The 9th SVA (2008) was re-branded as the Schools Digital Media Awards (SDMA) to include additional media categories such as audio and animation. This widening of scope builds the capacity in our students for producing a variety of media. This is in line with the government?s strategic framework to build a world-class Interactive Digital Media (IDM) talent base in Singapore. The SDMA aims to provide opportunities for teamwork, collaboration and the development of media literacy. It also hopes to enhance participants? understanding of the use of various media to create an original story for the intended audience. Students' competition and teachers' participation.
