Kan een online game geschrapt worden?

Het aantal Fortnite-spelers op de iPhone, iPad en iPod touch is met 60 procent gekrompen, nadat Apple het spel uit de App Store heeft gehaald.

Dat blijkt uit een kort geding ingediend door Fortnite-maker Epic Games. De gamestudio wil met de nieuwe aanklacht ervoor zorgen dat Fortnite en games gemaakt met hun Unreal Engine weer worden toegelaten in de App Store.

Recommended by teachers

Brainstorming | Group activity

A clear problem definition marks the starting point.

In each group, one student will note down the reactions, ideas, views, etc. of the others. The various opinions are not dealt with in any depth.
After a while, the group discusses the proposed solutions and picks out the best of these.
The various ideas are grouped conventionally in an easy-to-understand web diagram.

Case method | Cooperative learning

Concrete, realistic situations are individually analysed; afterwards, the resulting vision is presented and discussed in the group.
The individual’s vision is reappraised after seeking additional information. The different visions are selected and appraised.

Group discussion (or problem-solving discussion) | Dialogue

Reflective discussion as part of a group, pooling knowledge/ideas/opinions with the aim of learning from this. A stimulus to creative, problem-solving and evaluative thinking.
Someone (teacher or student in a smaller group) is appointed as moderator. Without impinging on the subject matter, this person guides the discussion through the different phases (defining the problem, defining the scope of the subject, dissecting the problem, seeking solutions, discussing propositions, formulating the conclusion).
Pitfall: students must have sufficient background knowledge.
Variants: one empty chair, carousel discussion, triangular discussion, forum discussion/panel, debate, with or without a role.

Problem-based learning | Cooperative learning

Students are divided into small groups (6 to 12 students) and are presented with a problem. The problem is analysed in the group: what do we already know; what do we not yet know; and what do we still have to find out? (= formulation of learning goals).
Students then work individually or in a group to analyse the problem in-depth (= self-study).
Finally, the group comes together again, students report back and test whether the problem is now better understood.

Three-phase interview | Group activity

The teacher formulates questions, which are answered by pairs each time. Student A interviews student B about the question. Afterwards, student B interviews student A.
A subsequent round follows in a group of four students. Each person tells the others what the outcomes of their interview were. A explains what B said, etc.
This is concluded with a class discussion.

Example: Say you wanted to live on your own: what would be involved?
