Short Description:
Hear game design theories, then quickly improve an instructional lesson with the mechanics of popular board games. For innovative educators, presenters, workforce trainers, or game designers.
Long Description:
What does the lesson “Finding Citations,” the game “Trivial Pursuit,” and the mechanic “Bluffing” all have in common? In this bootcamp brainstorm, your team is given a mission: to improve an instructional plan with the mechanics of popular board games in only 20 minutes. Whether you need to teach the rules of citation or the rules of interviewing, there is usually a game plan that can help. If you’re an educator, workforce trainer, presenter, or instructional designer, you will learn how to integrate non-digital educational games or simulations into your classroom or workspace. If you’re a game designer—even a casual one!—you can generate ideas for a powerful new game (whether educational or not). This session provides a fun introduction to the principles of game-based learning. Led by a professor from the City University of New York (CUNY).
