Abstract for the TalkIn this talk, Professor Andrew Phelps will present a model based on his experience over the last decade as the founder of the Game Design & Development programs at the Rochester Institute of Technology as well as the Department of Interactive Games & Media, also at RIT. The talk will specifically address the explosion of games studies over the last few years in academia, and how this has impacted education in fields ranging from traditional Computer Science and the Sciences in general, to the Arts and Humanities. Furthermore, the talk will explore the intersection of real-time interaction, socialization, exploration, and learning prevalent in game play, with a situational grounding in cognitive and collaborative learning theory, and with particular emphasis on the importance of using tools and techniques to provide an interesting, relevant, and fun way for students, faculty, and researchers to learn and gain appropriate skills for their field(s) of study and subsequently enrich their own work. Several real-world examples will be presented as case-studies drawn from the speaker's experience. Examples will be both technical and non-technical in nature. |
