Syllabus

Ever since the dawn of the video- and computer-game era people have thought that the power of the games medium could be harnessed to the goals of education. In this course students from computer science, digital media, and education will work in teams to develop and evaluate simple educational games, called gamelets, for learning mathematics in grades 5 through 9.

What you will do:

Work in teams comprised of students from computer science, digital media, and education

Collaborate with targeted grade level teachers and their students

Engage in cognitive task analysis to determine knowledge and skills necessary for interactive engagement among students

Create web-based instructional video games

 

What you will get:

An educational technology product that can be used directly in a classroom

An enhanced understanding of technology and its educational applications

A fun, interactive experience collaborating with a variety of people with a variety of expertise

An opportunity to have your educational game cataloged in the Math Tools digital library and featured on the Math Forum @ Drexel website.
