Welcome to the Game-Based Learning Review, your go-to destination for all things game-based learning. Each week, we publish articles and videos that examine how educational games are designed, evaluated, and deployed in real learning contexts. With a special focus on the games we create with our esteemed clients, the Game-based Learning Review draws on work across K12, higher education, workforce training, and informal learning environments.
As part of our 20-year retrospective, we launch the Game-Based Learning Review with a conversation featuring Professor James Paul Gee. The discussion covers the origins of educational games, what has endured over time, and where the field is headed next.
Discover how educators are preparing their learners for the widespread shift towards a skills-based economy, and how games can help!
