The beta version of the Tsantsar educational online game<\/a> is already available on Media.am. The purpose of the game created by the Media Initiatives Center (MIC) [also responsible for this site] is to inform computer and online users about cyber domain threats and teach them how to respond correctly.<\/p>\n Alongside creating the game, MIC developed the handbook Internet Freedom and Protection of Human Rights Online in Armenia<\/em>. \u201cMany media professional and civil society representatives don\u2019t give much importance to cyber risks and have very little knowledge of internet security,\u201d reads the handbook. It\u2019s this gap in knowledge that Tsantar helps to fill. <\/p>\n The game has six environments, or \u201cworlds\u201d as they\u2019re called in the game: Social media, Mobile devices, Computers, Data, Accounts, Networks. By answering questions in each of these topics, the player acquires knowledge through text as well as video.<\/p>\n \u201cWe specifically chose the name of the game, Tsantar. Tsantsars<\/em> are residents of the internet, those who are interested in communications, information technologies, social networks, and so on. If you want to be an honorary tsantsar<\/em>, you have to beat all the worlds of the game,\u201d says project coordinator Anna Barseghyan.<\/p>\n The game is for human rights defenders, state officials, and particularly journalists. For those who in their busy daily lives don\u2019t have time to keep abreast of changing security tools.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the fast-changing world, there\u2019s a problem of information protection. The available resources for information security are presented in a very complicated way. This is an attempt to provide the information through a game in a more interactive, concentrated dose,\u201d says game expert and IT consultant Artur Papyan.<\/p>\n Tsantsar\u2019s final version will be ready in January.<\/p>\n Gayane Asryan<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The beta version of the Tsantsar educational online game is already available on Media.am.
