This course provides an overview of game-based learning theories and best practices for incorporating educational games and simulations into a range of learning environments. Students will learn to apply analytic frameworks to commercial and educational games so as to evaluate a game's potential as a learning tool or environment for K-18, business, and government settings. Students will integrate games with lessons and other learning activities, as well as produce prototypes for their own educational games and plan to use gameplay data for assessment.
