Learn why games are such a powerful learning tool and explore how tabletop, experiential, and digital games can all be part of your learning strategy.

You'll understand how games link to learning, and you'll practice using an evaluation checklist when playing games so you can build a toolbox of ideas to incorporate into your own learning games.
