Screenshot From Scholar School Schemes

Cartoon of a person in a classroom. A graphic says "Scholar School Schemes, load game, options, start game, history, and credits."

This image was taken from the game Scholar School Schemes which I am currently developing, with help from other U of W faculty and students, to teach new students about academic misconduct. The game was builty by Brendan Duffy using the Ren’Py engine and in this screenshot also features artwork by Taylor Sanford. The game will serve as a focal point of a study to measure the effectiveness of games in dealing with issues such as academic integrity. In the game, players act as new tutors in the Writing Centre who must advise a series of students whose plans may involve academic misconduct.
