1 & 2: I understood games to be a broader field than simply video games (which is typically where my head goes first when I hear “games”)—however, when it comes to the relationship between games and learning, I was fairly certain that almost all research is devoted to using video games as educational tools.

“An academic home for play: games as unifying influences in higher education” (Herro & Clark, 2016) is a great introduction to one university’s bold foray into games-based learning (GBL). Herro, an assistant professor, and Clark, a graduate student, detail examples of programs of study in GBL from Clemson University’s new School of Education. The purpose […]
