Caspian

Caspian is an engaging and fun 3D gaming environment where characters can interact with each other, gather and pick up information. Students can learn through the various different tasks and activities set, and see how they did through feedback reports and results.

Use Caspian's learning environment to develop a deeper understanding of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
