GlamStart is an excellent example of a simple game that is being used as part of student induction at the University of Glamorgan.
The game allows players to take on the role of a virtual student, navigate through virtual versions of the real campuses, get information about locations, talk to people, pick up objects and make decisions about student life. By undertaking a range of challenges students can get an idea of the types of thing they will need to consider as new students (e.g. time, finance, social life, study) as well as win real-life prizes.
