| Abstract | The use of computer games as a tool for supporting learning about management and the appreciation of natural disasters is of great interest to many involved in supporting emergency services. Through the use of computer gameplay those involved in " front line " disaster or emergency management can experience scenarios through simulated situations. CODE RED: MOBILE is a game developed and designed with 7Scenes (7scenes.com) a free mobile game and editor for iPhone and iPad. Participants in the game learn about bushfires using visualisations created in modified (modded) Crysis Wars (Crytek.com) a computer game with a game editor. This paper outlines the development of CODE RED: MOBILE and discusses the results of the design of assessment of learning with the game using context based visualisations. INTRODUCTION This paper applies the notion of personal cognitive maps (Brown et al 2010) to an assessment of a pilot mobile learning package about bushfires in S.E. Australia called CODE RED: MOBILE. The pilot game is played on iPhone (see Fig.1) and iPad using the 7scenes application (7scenes.com). Figure 1.
