DimensionU Learning System Incorporates Social Networking Features

Tabula Digita, creator of the multifaceted DimensionU Learning System, has added a hip, new social networking component to its award-winning game-based software that allows students to connect with their friends, family and supporters to form their own small groups to support their studies.

The new social networking component encourages students who play the DimensionU educational video games to build online “learning communities” comprised of friends, family or community members, even their instructors. Currently available to students competing in Tabula Digita’s U Games National Scholarship Tournament, the social networking component will be rolled out system wide later this semester.

In the U Games National Scholarship Tournament, the new feature is being presented as the Social Network Challenge. In this, tournament participants can earn points by adding “Supporters,” “Friends” and “Extended Network Members” to their network. More details can be found at: http://bit.ly/eTpoey.
