Abstract

This talk analyzes how a relatively new trend of games is pushing the boundaries of what can be taught through play. Unlike most other commercial games, where the focus is being able to quickly pick it up and play, these titles pack a huge amount of highly-researched knowledge and offers teachers new ways of approaching their subjects.
