Monthly Chapter Meeting: Gameplay for Learning: What, How, & Why

In this chapter event we will define game play for learning and contrast it with gamification. Then we will play games to see how we can use those games for various topics. Finally, we'll look at the advantages and disadvantages of using gameplay for learning. Join us to have a hand-on experience with games, game play and interactive learning.

Upon conclusion of the event, participants will be able to: 

• Use gameplay for learning in ways that meet objectives and create memorable learning.
• Explore the differences between gameplay for learning and gamification.
• Recognize the importance of facilitation and asking powerful questions to lock in the learning from gameplay.
