Impact Games

I don't know about you but I really struggle to learn by watching, reading or listening. In other words, I'm not a passive learner. I have to engage, dive in, and learn through experience.

I heard an interview today with Asi Burak who is the co-founder of Impact Games, who believes this is the way to learn for most people.

What's interesting about Impact Games is that they have created situations in a virtual world that we can experience, learn and apply in the real world. Some of the situations are highly complex like being a peacekeeper in the Israeli Palestinian conflict and some are intriguing (maybe silly) like having to choose between being Madonna or Guy Ritchie in their divorce battle. A recent addition is a very culturally pertinent challenge - a Myspace suicide trial - where you have to be a Federal Juror in the trial to decide whether two girls had caused the suicide of another teen through Myspace bullying.

I'll leave it to the other co-founder to tell the story behind PeaceMaker in the video below:
