Gaming as Pedagogy: Teaching College Economics via a Video Game

Monday, October 09 | 9:00PM–9:00PM
Session Type: Resources
Videogames are highly effective for teaching complex concepts and keeping students engaged. Our presentation will feature ECON100, an online game for college credit now under development at UNCG. ECON100 not only teaches economic principles, it incorporates multidisciplinary content, online chat tools for student collaboration, and built-in assessment to evaluate learning.
