CUNY Games Network
Visit our website at http://games.commons.gc.cuny.edu (or by clicking the Visit Blog link on the left).
We connect educators from every campus and discipline at CUNY who are interested in games, simulations, and other forms of interactive teaching. We seek to facilitate the pedagogical uses of both digital and non-digital games, improve student success, and encourage research and scholarship in the developing field of games-based learning.

Maura A. Smale edited the blog post Consuming My (Reading) Feed in the group
CUNY Games Network: 4 months, 1 week agoI’m on a fellowship leave this semester and, while I’ve got a long list of research and writing to accomplish, there’s no denying that sabbatical has opened up more time in my schedule for reading. I admit I’ve been slacking somewhat on my games reading, and it’s been great to have a chance to catch up on game-based learning and game studies blogs…[Read more]

Anders Wallace started the topic Software for building online courses in the forum
CUNY Games Network 5 months, 2 weeks agoHello, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend (or has heard of) software for building courses that can be distributed and accessed online? My priorities are ease-of-use (building short, independent models nested within a course), functionality (able to embed video-clips), and ease of distribution.
Many thanks!
Anders

CUNY Games Network: 10 months, 1 week agoDid you ever play Mad Libs? I loved to play this game on long car rides when I was a kid. You could get books of them in the drug store, and best of all, your parents didn’t mind spending the money to get you a w […]
