Analyzing Earthquake Hazards vs Inundo

The DOST Courseware is a locally-produced, all-original Filipino highly interactive multimedia educational application packages that are conceptualized, digitized and produced as spearheaded by the Science Education Institute (SEI-DOST) in partnership with the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI-DOST) and in cooperation with the Department of Education (DepEd), Philippine Normal University (PNU) and University of the Philippines-National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (UP-NISMED), which aims to develop information and communication technology learning innovation to support the upgrading and improvement of science and mathematics education in the country. The DOST Courseware are provided for free to schools and are also made available online as supplemental resources for teachers and student as a fun and interactive approach to e-learning and blended learning. The Grade 7 DOST Courseware is composed of 120 lessons overall, 73 lessons in Science where it covered the domains on: Matter; Force, Motion and Energy, Living Things and Their Environment and Earth and Space while the 60 lessons in Mathematic covered the domains on: Numbers and Number Sense, Patterns and Algebra, and Geometry. The Grade 8 DOST Courseware is composed of 118 lessons overall, 61 lessons in Science where it covered the domains on: Parts and Functions, Ecosystems, Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits, Structures and Functions, Biodiversity, and Evolution, while the 57 lessons in Mathematics covered the domains on: Linear Equations, Quadratic Equations, Rational Algebraic Equations, Integral Exponents, Radicals, Arithmetic Sequence and Geometric Sequence. The themes of the courseware for Grades 7 and 8, Magicademy, Freddy’s Lab and D’nayao will surely amuse the users as they explore these distinct worlds while learning at the same time.

Inundo is a narrative applied game that addresses the themes of active participation and flood risk management. Through the story of Alex, a young geology graduate student who returns to his hometown to complete his thesis, players encounter and explore key concepts related to flood risks: from territorial and logistical challenges to possible natural and artificial buffers, from varying risk exposures to individual actions and collective strategies for preparedness, and the actors involved in prevention and response. The crucial themes of urban planning, risk and vulnerability mapping, and coordination between different stakeholders are explored through an engaging narrative that portrays the conflictual relationship between youth and institutions, along with the dynamics, different perspectives, and prejudices that influence it. The player's choices, guided by their sensitivity and understanding of the proposed themes, influence the course of events and determine how well the European town where the game takes place will be prepared for the extreme weather event that arrives in the epilogue. Inundo was developed within the Erasmus+ KA220-YOU AYDRESS project - Project Number: GA 2023-2-FR02-KA220-YOU-000173783 Start Date: 01.01.2024 - Date of Completion: 31.12.2025
