Two new interactive justice games from OpenLearn

Throughout 2011, BBC Four and The Open University will explore the meaning of justice in the modern world in a series of new films and online features.

To complement the season, OpenLearn have launched two brand new interactive games, To Lie Or Not To Lie and What’s Your Verdict?

To Lie Or Not To Lie aims to make you think about your moral responses to different lies and allows you to figure out which philosopher you’re most like. It was developed with Timothy Chappell as academic consultant, Professor of Philosophy and director of The Open University Ethics Centre.

To play, visit OpenLearn [http://www.open.ac.uk/openlearn/history-the-arts/culture/philosophy/lie-or-not-lie] and remember to share it on Twitter and Facebook!

What’s Your Verdict gives you the chance to follow our fictional case and see if you can make judgements based on the facts as they’re presented to you.

You can also play the role of Judge and decide on which sentence to give if found ‘Guilty’. This interactive was game developed with Peter Ward as academic consultant and Regional Manager for the Law Program in the West Midlands.
