Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2History-Themed Games in History Education: Experiences on a Blended World History Course(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-04) Kuran, Mehmet Şükrü; Tozoğlu, Ahmet Erdem; Tavernari, CinziaIn this paper we explain our experiences and observations on a blended world history course which combines classical lecture and discussion elements as well as video game sessions in which the students play strategy video games with heavy historical focus. The course, named Playing with The Past, is designed to experiment on how to integrate video games on teaching history especially in order to achieve a higher understanding of the contemporary social, political, economical, and technological context of a given era for a given nation. We ran the course four times between 2015-2018 with different video game titles having different historical models and observe the experiences and learning of students based on the quality of their written essays and articles. Our experiments and observations could be beneficial not only for the design of a general world history course, but also for a history course on specific periods, cultures, and nations. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Acoustic Transformation of Rock-Cut Caves Into Performance Spaces(European Acoustics Association, EAA, 2023) Aslan, Ahmet; Şaher, Konca; Tozoğlu, Ahmet ErdemCappadocia Region in Turkey is a center of attention as a tourism destination with its rock-cut caves, some of which are being used as performance spaces for concerts, festivals and local entertainment activities. However, these spaces are not fully investigated for their acoustic performance before being transformed into performance venues. This paper reports on the findings of an initial survey which presents a systematic mapping of the rock-cut caves used as performance spaces to locate, explore and document a sample of structures scattered in this historic district. A typological classification based on volume, size, type of tuff rock material and historical original use has been proposed and an acoustic analysis of some selected rock-cut caves has been carried out. The acoustic analysis included reverberation time calculations and simulations based on apparent volume, and tuff stone absorption characteristics, which were studied by other researchers in the area. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
