ABSTRACT
Many of the projects conventionally reported in distance learning, satellite-assisted education, and focus principally on communication as a carrier of didactic information. The World Game is an event which has been staged for a number of years on various campuses across the country and was demonstrated before Congress in December ‘82, shortly after the United States International University World Game. The playing field is a huge dymaxion projection of the earth as a contiguous land mass in the world ocean. The students were divided into seven teams, by regions of the world: Europe, Africa, Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, North America and South America. Since the project was taking place during World Communication Year ‘83, “Communication” was selected as an area of emphasis. The interactive capability of existing communication technology has been demonstrated with success in a number of projects from PEACESAT on.
