About this course

What can we learn from games about engaging learners and fostering learning? How can games be developed specifically to promote learning? What kinds of things can be learned from games? What does it take to foster learning from games? Some educational games that have been designed in research labs can inform about the answers to these questions. As well, there are many computer games around that can teach us about sustaining engagement, particularly important for understanding deeply and mastering capabilities. In this module, students will engage with and read about a variety of games for learning and, hopefully, develop imagination about what different kinds of games and ways of interacting with games afford with respect to learning and come to recognize aspects of game design that are relevant to designing learning experiences. Your project will be the conceptual design of a game to achieve a set of learning goals of your choice.
