Game-Based Learning Faculty Institute
Game-based learning is designed to balance subject matter with game play and to help the player retain and apply what they have learned to the real world. CFT and ITS worked with a group of UI faculty members who had identified a learning need in their students and were looking to devise a game to help students address that learning challenge.
