Educational Gaming Commons - Press Start

Penn State’s Educational Gaming Commons has issued a call for proposals to Penn State faculty interested in incorporating educational gaming into their courses during the fall 2009 semester.

There are two projects, including the development of supporting educational materials for a commercial, off–the-shelf (COTS) game to be used in a Penn State class, and the creation of a small game to be used as supporting instructional materials in a Penn State class.

The application process for these projects is ongoing, and will continue until all available slots are filled. The duration of project development will take one semester, and will include presentation of findings from each project by involved faculty at a future Penn State Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology.

For more information and to submit a proposal, please go to http://gaming.psu.edu/2009GamingInitiative or contact gaming@psu.edu.

Please pass this information on!
