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.
Welcome back to the Game-based Learning Review! Dan and Brandon have a full episode of puzzle-solving, game design pitches, and robot dancing.
Game-based learning and nonprofits make for a dynamic duo. Many nonprofits have a mission focused on meaningful education and action.
