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.

Dialogo (Dialogue) from the IE Business School in Spain is an interactive (Spanish) simulation used in the first production of multimedia documentation for the bachelor in communication of IE University in Spain and is embedded in the subject Audio-visual Analysis: Digital Writing-Editing. This interactive exercise introduces the practice of shooting and editing dialogue, with the help of a simulation in which students have to choose between different shots in the sequence according to the dramatic progression. What is mportant here is to use the camera positions correctly, different shots can be chosen directly through a 3D model of the shooting. After being introduced to the theory of the axis, students can create their own movies through the simulation. As an output, students can see the final real video, from the different angles they have chosen beforehand. Afterwards, all videos can be published on an open platform, where both professors and students can evaluate and leave comments about the films online or in a debrief in the following class. The dialogue used in the simulation is based on the novel “The heart of darkness” by Joseph Conrad.

'Les TIC en Classe' is French for "ICT in class". It is an interactive DVD, produced and published in 2007 by the Ministry of Education in France, to motivate teachers to use ICT in the classroom. 37 films (5-7 minutes) allow the viewer/teacher to "enter" and participate in a class. Each film is supplemented by interviews with the teachers and students, educational materials and relevant links. The DVD shows with concrete examples and situations the contribution and advantages of digital services and tools to learning, to show the actual activities of students and to encourage teachers to use the many accompanying documents (on the DVD or available online) and extend the use of ICT and examples shown in the videos. The DVD was chosen as a medium because it allows teachers to easily access the multimedia content that interest him/her (movies, interviews with teachers or pupils, PDFs and links) and it can be viewed on any computer and all types of operating system (even old versions). The DVD features a dual navigation to discover the contents by subject in primary and secondary education (French, mathematics, modern languages, etc ...) or to browse by theme: background materials (on for instance interactive tables), involved psycho-motoric learning goals or resources, … Presented at numerous meetings and in many institutes of teacher training, the DVD was a big hit among the teachers so it was reissued in 6000 copies, a special edition targeted at primary education and an English version of 10 films (http://www.educnet.education.fr/en/videos/ict-uses) were made in 2008 and 2009. Project media is a DVD, but the movies and materials are also available online: http://www.educnet.education.fr/canal-educnet and DVDs are sent to teachers who request it via e-mail: usages-sdtice@education.gouv.fr. A MEDEA Showcase was also dedicated to this educational package: http://www.medea-awards.com/les-tic-en-classe.
