educational games

This note last modified September 1, 2024

So first off, I like the term transformational game better.

But regardless, educational games are great. I’m not talking about frog fractions (and honestly, a lot of research shows that those kinds of games are ineffective anyways), but things more along the lines of explorables.

Random Stuff

transformational games
- Transformational games are an umbrella term for serious games, educational games, Games with a purpose, explorables, etc.
it's hard to evaluate transformational games
- edugames don't fit well into the classroom structure and so teachers are loathe to completely revamp their curriculum to support an edugame study. This means that proper studies on edugames are hard to find.

- I study educational games, with a focus on social impact. How can we get players to reflect and think critically about the world they live in? I got started in undergrad, where I taught a course that used games to teach philosophy. Through my work, I’ve gained strong skills in game design, pedagogy, user research, and programming.
