Abstract


Learning games have long been used by business instructors to help students learn and review material. This workshop will present research on the mechanics of learning games, including types of questions, team sizes, game formats and student engagement. Recent research from neuroscience shows that games involving risk and uncertainty can facilitate learning over the long-term. Those attending this workshop will become familiar with the research on learning games and take away the "tools" that can be used to build games by using traditional assignments and activities as a starting point.
