Pérez Cortés, Luis E.; Gao, Yuchan; Kessner, Taylor M.; Bernier, Jeremy; Gee, Elisabeth R. – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2022
Designing games from the ground up is a popular activity for helping students think in designerly ways. Despite their benefits, such game design activities may place higher-than-anticipated demands on cognitive and institutional resources. In an effort to alleviate these demands, this study explored how playing and fixing partially completed games…

Leah F. Rosenbaum – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Research on the educational value of play tends to focus on active players, especially when evaluating novel interaction technologies. However, a long history of scholarship underscores observing communal practice as a primary means of enculturation and learning. This paper demonstrates learning opportunities available within a range of…
