[drew davidson]

ETC Press is excited to announce the release of “Learning and Education Games. Volume Two: Bringing Games into Educational Contexts,” by Karen Schrier, et al. 

The Learning, Education & Games book series is perfect for any educator or developer seeking an introduction to research-driven best practices for using and designing games for learning. This volume, Bringing Games into Educational Contexts, delves into the challenges of creating games and implementing them in educational settings.

 

This book covers relevant issues such as gamification, curriculum development, using games to support ASD (autism spectrum disorder) students, choosing games for the classroom and library, homeschooling and gameschooling, working with parents and policymakers, and choosing tools for educational game development.

Each chapter provides an overview of the relevant frameworks and research findings, as well as practical case studies and useful resources. 

Learning, Education & Games: Bringing Games into Educational Contexts is the second in a series written and edited by members of the Learning, Education, and Games (LEG) special interest group of the IGDA (International Game Developers Association).

It looks like a great book to use for my courses as well! Thanks for sharing Drew! I would also like to add one-two chapters if you are planning to increase the number of the chapters :)

Best.

Many thanks for this :) Anything in the pipeline aimed at adult learning and/or informal settings? I'm under the general impression (not this particular publication which I haven't read yet) that despite the calls for "innovation" & "disruption", all in all the trend seems to be to squeeze in gaming into existing curricula, these being mere buzzwords attracting funding, but lacking substantial content.
