EDIT 486 - Digital Games in Education

★ 3 (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-3)

Faculty of Education

This course emphasizes students as builders of video games as opposed to players of video games and addresses the pedagogy of using this process to teach K-12 students. Lectures will focus on educational theory, specifically, social constructivist and constructionist frameworks and their relevance to current learners and their perspectives on technology use. The lab components will explore various game development environments which are designed for K-12 students. Through the construction of video games, students will learn how to promote problem-solving skills and critical thinking in their own students. May contain alternate delivery sections; refer to the Tuition and Fees page in the University Regulations section of the Calendar.
