Design of Educational Games
Instructors:
Course information:
Description: The potential of digital games to improve education is enormous. However, it is a significant challenge to create a game that is both fun and educational. In this new course students will learn to meet this challenge. The course will involve a significant hands-on portion in which students create multiple educational games. Students may create digital or non-digital games – the design process is largely the same. They will also read about game design, instructional design, learning and transfer, and the educational effectiveness of digital games. The co-instructors will be Vincent Aleven of the Human-Computer Interaction Institute and Eben Myers of the Entertainment Technology Center and Etcertera Edutainment. The intended audience comprises graduate students in HCII, CS, ETC, Design, and students interested in education or psychology research. Prerequisite: one course in HCI, game design, or cog/ed psych. |
