Has anybody thought about writing IF to teach some subject???
There is an entire directory on that very subject at if-archive. Take
a look at ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/games/pc/education/ or something
very similar. Granted, most of the games are crap, but they are there.
Also, I recently wrote a paper on using IF for teaching English as a
second or foreign language. The paper was awarded an impossibly high
grade (VG+ for anyone knowledgeable about the Swedish grading system).
I will some day put it on WWW, but in the meantime I will email it on
request.
