Abstract

Serious games, educational games, virtual worlds: research and experimentation are bringing games into the classroom at every level, from K-12 to higher education. The field of educational gaming is opening interesting possibilities for teaching and learning, but some question the value and applicability of gaming for education. This discussion will explore the complex issues and opportunities surrounding the use of games for learning.
