Abstract

The success of today's computer science educational institutions hinges on successful innovative and creative learning strategies. This involves integrating new media technologies such as the latest console games and digital television, which our current Playstation generation has been brought up on. The fact that the games industry has outstripped Hollywood as a multi-billion dollar earner and is still growing (at approximately US$15 billion worldwide) is indicative of this influence. How do we bring the inspiration that is needed to be the next Electronic Arts into our classrooms and labs? This paper will examine these issues and is designed to explore innovation in new media, using the example of games and interactive television.
