11. Direct links to VISL’s language games and quizzes The VISL site contains a number of language games and quizzes which provide users with the opportunity of testing their knowledge of language structure and grammatical terminology in a highly interactive fashion. Feedback is immediate, individualized, and freely available around the clock. Most of the games keep track of high scores over given periods of time (e.g. 365 days, 30 days, 24 hours), so users can compare their best performances with other players from around the world. The following games and quizzes play a significant role in connection with this course: • form games: Paintbox, Word Fall, Shooting Gallery, Labyrinth • function games: Syntris, Space Rescue • morphology game: Balloon Ride izzes: Match Form, Match Function games is provided with help menus in both English and Danish at the VISL site itself. ffer information on the nature of each game as well as detailed instructions on how to e ample opportunity to become familiar with these games, one by one, later in this course, ld you wish to explore some (or all) of them now, a brief description of each of these nd quizzes is supplied below. In addition, links are provided to the different help menus e relevant sentences in English and Danish – as well as to the desired secondary school (stx/hf, hhx, htx). ll these games and quizzes come from Eckhard Bick and John Dienhart, while the ming is the work of skilled and dedicated students from the Mærsk McKinney Møller of Production Technology (MIP) at SDU in Odense. As these students graduate, new are hired to replace them, with the result that the program code for most of the games ly is the product of more than one programmer. In fact, interpreting and editing the code y a predecessor can often be more challenging than starting from scratch. Despite these ations, I have chosen to list only one programmer for each of the games and quizzes. This ry case the person who has spent most time developing the program. He is listed as the programmer” (for more details, see the programming credits for each game on the VISL Form (original programmer: Morten Baun Møller) ption: ata: Danish English INSERT MATCH FORM IMAGE page 36 John M.
