Supporting research

Our work is most informed by the scholarship of James Paul Gee, which was well summarized in the 13 Principles of Good Game Design videos available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tn3YTmoaUg&list=PLgb1EzYS06t_iwHfYm4FSQ4Ldb3l5IH48

We also invite reviews and participants to review some of our lab's research, which focuses on design, theory and using new data-centric approaches to better understand learning with games available at fielddaylab.wisc.edu/research.
