Board games and Learning

• In Event: Board Games and Learning

Short Description

Research indicates that games are learning spaces, but this argument is often limited to digital/video games. Research on board games and learning is still limited. Yet, the resurgence of board games calls the attention of researchers interested in learning and enhancing learning in different settings, and with different tools. Participants in this session will discuss the learning potential of board games from different perspectives.
