The game producer Artofcrime has, together with a school centre in Frederiksborg, developed the educational game "De 9 bud" (The 9 commands). The game uses SMS messages in order to teach the Danish language to teenagers.
- If we are to comply with the demands of adjusting our teaching to encourage students to use the language in a personal and versatile way, we have to use the media that the young people use, says Mette Schousboe at the school centre in Frederiksborg to Jyllands Posten.
The game is set as a role play where the students have to investigate a murder and communicate with each other with SMS.
- It classic teaching in the Danish language, but in a new media. The students have to use and adjust their choice of words depending on which role in the game they are playing, says Mette Schousboe.
Frederiksborg Amt, near Copenhagen, is the first school that has a licence to use the educational game.
