Water conservation online game acknowledged
An online game developed by Swinburne
University students and staff has been recognised as an
Official Honoree in the 12th Annual Webby Awards - hailed as
the 'Oscars of the Internet.' The distinction has been
awarded to Mission H2o, a water conservation game that
teaches players how to optimise water usage in the home. The
game is the work of 80 third year students and five
lecturers from the university's multimedia design program,
and represents more than 18,000 hours of research and
development. The Mission H2o game can be accessed at

Water is the essential element of life, and
efforts to understand it and its use (and abuse) can form part
of an essential learning experience in the natural sciences
classroom. Created by the University of Minnesota (in tandem
with a wide range of other organizations), the Water on the Web
curricula website offers instructional materials in two areas:
basic science and water science. In the basic science area,
visitors will learn through study lessons that detail such
important topics as solubility, conductivity, and the basic
properties of water. The water science section of the site
contains materials that could be used by instructors who are
teaching students about data collection and management in a
water resource management course.
