Educational Gaming Commons - Press Start

We're working hard to establish a collaborative relationship with Blizzard entertainment, creators of the Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo franchises.  Several faculty at Penn State are using World of Warcraft in both classroom instruction and research settings.  IST's Gaming for Girls program has taken advantage of the Warcraft 3 editor in the past.  We are working on an agreement with Blizzard around their software that would involve both licensing and digital management (versus managing several copies of the software on hard media).

In order to make this happen, we could use your help.  If you used any Blizzard product in the past, for classroom use or research purposes, drop us a line at gaming@psu.edu with a brief description of your work.  If you have ideas about using Blizzard software for teaching or research, we'd also like to hear from you!  We can work with you to help conceptualize how specific Blizzard software could help meet your teaching or research goals. 

So drop us a line if you have experiences to share or ideas you'd like to explore around the use of Blizzard software.
