Game Design: The Key to Education?

Barbara Chamberlin, with the NMSU Learning Games Lab, shares the Educational Game Design model developed at NMSU.

The educational development studio involves content experts and game developers in their game design process, also employing a rigorous user testing process throughout development.

In this presentation, she explains the pre-development work they do in working from broad educational objectives, forming team, immersing team members in both the content and game design, and guiding questions for refining educational objectives and driving game development.
