From Course Creation to Final Examination: Using Video Game Concepts to Inform the Writing Classroom
Abstract
This presentation will discuss how skills acquired during video game play can be transferred to other areas of learning. Discussion will include how to re-conceptualize games as “texts,” cognitive processes involved in game play, and ways of integrating this prior knowledge into the writing classroom. Examples from practice will illustrate some of the cognitive processes and transfer methods discussed.
