College teaches via computer game
The game challenges pupils against future-set teachers
Students at a college in the Chilean capital Santiago have been testing a new computer game developed for them using their teachers as the bad guys.
The game, entitled 2065, after the year in which it is set, was designed specifically for the college and is the first of its kind in Chile.
It works by dividing the large group of students into five tribes.
They must "build the world of their dreams" while fighting an evil "republic" made up of corrupt teachers.
Gabriella Guzman, who helped develop and test the game, described it as "a bit like Sim City" but on a much smaller scale.
"It allows people to take charge of the situation," she told BBC World Service's Digital Planet programme.
