Digital Game-based Learning
Course Content
This course will introduce you to the application of computer-based games, narrative and role play in educational settings. The course will consider actual and potential application of existing commercial games in educational settings, games that have been specifically created with educational objectives in mind, and a wider array of practices in experiential learning that can broadly be described as game-informed. In parallel with this practical emphasis the course will provide a theoretical context for the relationships between games, play and learning.
