Join us for our first Serious Games Meetup of 2018 on Friday, February 2 at 11 a.m. in the digital media arts lounge on the third floor of Lyons Hall. We’ll look at some virtual reality simulations and try out Dr. Jonathan Lawrence’s Creation Game, which he and his students played last semester in class.
Serious Games can serve a wide variety of purposes: educational, scientific simulation, healthcare, therapy, personnel training, emergency management, city planning and politics. The Serious Games Meetup is sponsored by the Digital Humanities Group. Here, faculty, staff and students explore learning theories and game design, and conduct workshops where participants explore digital and analog game use and creation. And yes, we play some games, too!
